Sydney-based independent consultant and support worker experienced in youth services and mentorship
Next Level Youth (NLY) is a mobile mentoring service committed to supporting young people aged 13 – 25.
We support young people who have entered, or have been in the Out of Home Care (OOHC) sector and/or currently registered in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
Our service offers young people in the Western Sydney region the opportunity to consult with our dedicated and experienced staff in a place where they feel comfortable whether by telephone consult, online meeting, home visit or meeting face-to-face in a comfortable quiet location of their choice.
Next Level Youth uses a person-centred approach and focuses on supporting vulnerable young people as they transition to independence or reconnect with their birth families.
We use a strength-based approach working with each young person at their pace and capacity while setting achievable goals with manageable steps.
“Having this support helped me gain access to more opportunities and helped me build up my confidence to take on life after being in care.”
