Young People Ahead Youth and Community Services (YPA) is the largest youth organisation located in Mount Isa, North West Queensland. YPA supports young people between the ages of 12 to 25 years.  YPA at present has over 15 highly experienced and professional youth workers, who work from a strength based approach and are very hands on when working with young people and their families. Staff use creative and flexible approaches to support clients as they journey into making small steps towards a more positive and fulfilling future.  The organisations’ culture is one of Team Work, Advocacy and Integrity. All YPA services are client focused and work in collaboration with other organisations and government agencies to ensure the best outcomes for clients and their families are achieved in a holistic framework that involves "unpacking" all of the baggage a young person presents with. Young people identify the organisation as being Trustworthy, Safe, and above all Fun to be with when engaging in programs and activities. As you will see from the ‘Gallery’ section of our webpage, the pictures illustrates the hard work that YPA staff do in terms of working closely with young people, their families and the greater community.
