- Youth Off The Streets is an Australian not-for-profit youth organisation with locations in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria. The organisation works with young people, their families and communities to create safety, offer support and provide opportunities to build a positive future. Since being founded by Father Chris Riley in 1991, Youth Off The Streets has grown to deliver a range of wraparound supports for young people. These include crisis accommodation and housing services, independent high schools, alcohol and other drugs counselling, youth justice support, life skills and employment programs, cultural support and community engagement, among other services. Youth Off The Streets is a non-denominational organisation with a focus on early interventions that empower young people and strengthen communities. In May 2020, Deputy CEO Lex Nadine Lutherborrow was appointed by Father Riley and the Youth Off The Streets Board as CEO. Father Riley transitioned into the role of Founder and Executive Director.
