Welcome to Investing In Our Youth Inc.

Investing In Our Youth (IIOY) is a not-for-profit organisation that works across agencies in the South West of Western Australia to support the healthy development of children and young people.

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.
