Youth Excel was founded in 2000. Now in its tenth year of operation, this charity delivers highly effective small group programs and mentoring to teenagers in Brisbane to over 120 young people per year.
Youth Excel is passionate about seeing young people make a successful transition into adulthood. To this end they offer several programs to schools and community groups that help young people become motivated and improve their feeling of self worth.
The rograms include:
Prepare for High School
to assist Upper Primary or Year 8 Students successfully transition to High School. The program aims to help students strengthen their self esteem and establish personal boundaries in preparation for the changes they will go through in the upcoming years.
Girls Excel and Guys Excel
these programs brings relief to young people suffering from significant life challenges (including mental illness, sexual abuse, expulsion, poverty, domestic violence, dysfunctional family situations, drug and alcohol abuse, bullying, malnutrition, teen pregnancy, self harm and suicide) and who are, as a result, ‘at risk’ of disconnecting with education and/or family. They are run separately for girls and boys.
Quench
This is an anger management and anti-bullying program for young men. The program has been very successful in reducing rage and bullying in schools and is ideal for young men needing role models and ‘down to earth’ strategies to assist the transition to manhood.
