Hillsong Youth Services conducts a range of community based programs and services to encourage and empower young people (aged 12 - 25 years) to lead and impact in every sphere of life. Hillsong Youth Services employs experienced staff and coordinates a large volunteer base of hundreds. Young people play an active role in developing programs for their peers and are encouraged to address the issues facing their own youth culture.
HYS provides recreational, vocational and support based programs in locations such as the Hills District, Blacktown, St Marys, City of Sydney, Maroubra and Redfern. Each program location has differing needs and HYS aims to meet those needs in an innovative and effective way.
