About
Since St John’s Youth Services was established in 1981, we have supported more than 15,000 young people experiencing homelessness or crisis. We know what works and have a proud record of developing innovative service models to change young lives for the better.
Who we are
St John’s Youth Services works with young people in the Adelaide metro area who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. As well as individuals, we support young couples, families, single mums or dads, and their children. We believe in young people and refuse to define them by their temporary experience of homelessness. Instead, we focus on each young person’s talents and ambitions, and their capacity to overcome challenges in their past and take control of their future.

Reconciliation
Our vision for reconciliation is:
an Australia where all First Nations peoples and other Australians can access safe and secure housing equally and equitably, where all First Nations young people have a place to call home, and where the truth of our history is shared and accepted.
a workplace that is united in an environment that includes, respects, and values all First Nations peoples and cultures, and where truth telling is encouraged, supported, and heard.
our services are accessible and culturally safe environments that are respectful of First Nations young people, their families, Elders, and community, and are grounded in listening and learning.
