Who We Are
Help Elevate Youth is a youth-led, non-profit organisation that advocates for the issues of homelessness affecting underprivileged communities and disadvantaged youth. Founded by a group of passionate and enthusiastic high-school students, we strive to create a lasting impact in the community through our grassroots organising and special programs, providing immediate support to those in need.
Why We Exist
122,494.
That's the number of people experiencing homelessness in Australia as of 2023 (Homelessness Australia, 2023).
19,800.
The number of children that make up Australia's homeless population.
14.8%
The rate at which homelessness has increased over the last five years (ABS, 2022).
Homelessness has been an exponentially rising social issue affecting the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of children and young people. Most importantly, homeless people often lack access to basic necessities and sufficient resources to receive housing assistance and other support programs.
Through our grassroots organising, community-based advocacy, and fundraising events, Help Elevate Youth strives to ensure that all homeless people from diverse communities are provided with the essential resources needed to sustain a healthy wellbeing.
We also partner with children’s hospitals, orphanages, and shelters to provide resources and programs that advocate for children’s education.
Our Solution
We have designed special care and relief packages that are distributed to homeless communities and disadvantaged children during our fundraising events. These gift packages contain basic living necessities that help improve their quality of life, including non-perishable foods, clean clothing, blankets, hygiene products, first aid kits, and other essential items.
Help Elevate Youth also collaborates with homeless shelters and children’s hospitals to deliver these meticulously designed care packages to those who need them most.
