About Youth Off The Streets
Youth Off The Streets is a not-for-profit youth organisation dedicated to providing safety, support and opportunities for young people to build positive futures. We deliver a broad range of services including crisis accommodation and housing, alternative secondary education, alcohol and other drugs counselling, youth justice support, life skills and employment programs, cultural support and community engagement. Our work is grounded in early intervention approaches that empower young people and strengthen communities.

Established in 2013, Craig Davis College is a coeducational specialist secondary school supporting students in Years 9–12 who are at risk of disengaging, or who have disengaged, from mainstream schooling.

Our dedicated team of educators works closely with students to build the knowledge, skills and confidence required to achieve a Record of School Achievement (RoSA), Higher School Certificate (HSC), or to transition into further education, training or employment.
