Sparking Opportunities since 1905

Since 1905 YAL recognised the importance of supporting young Australians. From sporting and music groups to financial and emotional support YAL aim’s to create a supportive place for young Australians to grow and reach their potential.

We create a space for young Australians

Established in 1905

YAL is the oldest youth organisation in Western Australia.

We believe in supporting disadvantaged young Australians on their educational journeys in whatever form of education suits them. As a result, we developed a bespoke scholarship program that offers more than just a scholarship.

We offer more than just a scholarship

Over the past 10 years

YAL’s programs have awarded $731,395 across all our programs to keep young Australians engaged in education.

Bringing YAL’s purpose to Cairns

YAL Cairns has been around since 1948, but there’s a lot more to know about it apart from its unique history. What we do at YAL Cairns makes you appreciate the ‘small’ moments in life.

We couldn’t support the young people we do without the assitance of our donors & sponsors

Donations assist us in giving back. Together we can make a monumental difference for young Australians across the country.

Corporate Partnerships

We’re all about building partnerships. Why limit that to the young people we support? We have a plethora of unique programs if you or your business wants to make a change in a young person’s life

We aren’t able to do what we do without our people

It’s the consistent support from our team, board, sponsors and donors that assist in making a difference.

“The opportunity to contribute to the lives of young people and assisting with providing them with opportunities, helping to shape their lives and future has been a tremendous honour and a useful endeavour to donate my time to.”
