Strategic direction

For more than 40 years, YFS has worked alongside individuals, families and communities across Logan, Beaudesert and surrounding regions, to support them through life’s challenges and build stronger futures.

Guided by our values of excellence, integrity, optimism, steadfastness and courage, we walk alongside our clients to create positive and lasting change. Every person has strengths, aspirations and the ability to shape their own future. Our role is to provide the support, opportunities and connections that help make this possible.

YFS delivers a broad range of integrated services that respond to the needs, aspirations and strengths of our community. Our work spans housing and homelessness, domestic and family violence support, family services, youth programs, employment services, financial wellbeing, legal, and local community development.

Through these services, we support thousands of people each year to find safety and stability, strengthen relationships, improve wellbeing, build independence and shape hopeful futures in their community. By working across multiple service systems, we help people access the right support at the right time. This integrated, place-based approach enables us to respond to complex challenges while remaining connected to the communities we serve.

We also know that our direction is determined as much by our goals as by how our community and partners see us. That’s why we conduct regular surveys with our partners to check how we’re progressing against our strategy.

Through our Strategic Direction, YFS ensures that the thousands of people we support across and surrounds can continue living, working, and thriving in their communities.
