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.
Our Mission
Our mission is to ensure that all homeless people from different communities are provided with sufficient support and basic necessities needed to sustain a healthy well-being. Help Elevate Youth also partners with children's hospitals, orphanages, and homeless shelters to provide resources and programs that advocate for children's education.
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 and thousands of children and young people. Most importantly, homeless people often lack access to 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 different communities are provided with the basic necessities 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 different fundraising events. These gift packages contain basic living necessities that are used to improve their quality of life, through non-perishable foods, clean clothing, blankets, hygiene products, first aid kit, and other essential items. Help Elevate Youth is also in collaboration with homeless shelters and children's hospitals to deliver these meticulously designed care packages to those who are in need the most.
