Welcome to Investing In Our Youth Inc.
Investing In Our Youth (IIOY) is a not-for-profit community based organisation that promotes the healthy development of children and young people in the South West Region. We do this by working in partnership with other community service organisations, the business sector, government and the wider community.
Investing In Our Youth works within an evidence based framework of prevention that reviews risk and protective factors that influence the development of children and young people.This model identifies and addresses priority areas to promote healthy development before young people become involved in problem behaviours.
In 2010-12, Investing In Our Youth has three key focus areas (while also aiming to respond flexibly to emerging needs): 1) young people and alcohol, 2) early years' advocacy, and 3) support for youth development programs. Please contact us directly on 08 9721 6951 or email iioy@iinet.net.au for more information.
