Vinnies Youth covers all of our Members and Volunteers up to 35 years of age, including our school groups, Youth Conferences and uni groups! Our inspiring young Members and Volunteers are making a difference in their local communities, all over Australia.

Some of the ways that young people are involved are through groups or ‘Conferences’ for their age group, such as our school-based Conferences (Mini Vinnies for primary schools, and High School Conferences for secondary schools) and university-based Conferences.

These groups run initiatives from Buddies Days and trivia fundraisers, to Homework Help for kids with a refugee background.

Young adults may also be involved by leading the next generation into home-visitation through their local Conferences, or by volunteering at a Vinnies Service such as the Vinnies Van or Mathew Talbot hostel.

In fact, there’s so much going on for Schools and Young People in Vinnies, we’ve got our very own website!

By visiting our website, you can find resources for teachers, students and young adults who are keen to learn about social justice and make a difference!
