Giving Philosophy
Youth Insearch believes recovery is relational and that young people with lived experience are best placed to support others facing mental health and life challenges. Their peer-to-peer model uses shared experiences to build trust rapidly, reframing stories with messages of hope and recovery. They focus on strengths-based, holistic support rather than seeing problems as 'something wrong with a person' — valuing people and connection above clinical intervention.
Tips for Applicants
As a program-based organization rather than a grant-maker, Youth Insearch is more likely to be a recipient of funding than a provider. For organizations seeking to partner or refer clients: they accept referrals from parents, service providers, schools, and government departments. The program specifically serves at-risk youth with complex trauma (90% of participants), with 34% Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and 35% CALD participants. Programs focus on peer-led support with lived experience workers. If seeking to collaborate, emphasize alignment with their wrap-around, strengths-based approach and demonstrated outcomes for disengaged young people.
