Taldumande Youth Services is a not-for-profit organisation that supports vulnerable and homeless children and young people aged 12 to 24 years, and their families. Based in Northern Sydney and the Northern Beaches, we support young people from all across Sydney. On any given night Taldumande has 71 children and young people in residence. With our three 24/7 and two semi-independent accommodation programs, as well as our community housing programs, we provide a streamlined pathway, from homelessness and family breakdown, to independence and stability. In addition we provide residential support to young people who are under the supervision of Juvenile Justice in our Young Offenders Intervention Program, and we focus on preserving and restoring families with children and young people aged 12 to 15 in our Family Restoration and Preservation Program.
