Phoenix House Youth Services

Phoenix House Youth Services has a successful 30+ years track-record of working with “at risk” young people (aged 13-24), in the Northern Sydney region. We provided alternative education and training pathways, with wraparound support of case management and counselling, to the most challenged young people, delivering life-changing outcomes.

Our primary target group is “at risk” young people who have been disengaged from education and not in employment. Many of these young people are affected by a number of factors including: family breakdown, drug and or alcohol abuse, mental health issues, domestic violence and homelessness.

Since the transformation of Phoenix House from a homelessness service to a service focusing on education and training four years ago, Phoenix House have achieved significant social impact, as measured through the success in it programs, awards, compliments and recognition.
