About Youth and Family Connect
Youth and Family Connect are a registered charity operating in the most densely populated and socioeconomically diverse community in Australia – Woolloomooloo.
As well as providing essential community services such as distributing free food and assisting those experiencing hardship, we spearhead unique and refreshing community cultural arts and wellbeing initiatives, events and programs.
Through these programs and initiatives, we strive to foster a sense of interconnectedness in the community inspiring and encouraging creative problem solving and nurturing a sense of self worth and accomplishment, while remaining focused on the alleviation of poverty.

A Youth and Family Connect Scholarship helped a talented local girl achieve her dream. Lydia was selected to attend the Summer Intensive Ballet Program at the prestigious Joffrey Ballet in NYC.
