Our philosophy - breaking down barriers
At Bankstown Multicultural Youth Service Inc. we are committed to breaking down the barriers that exist for young people in our community.
Barriers to education
Barriers to training
Barriers to employment opportunities
Barriers to access
Barriers to fair treatment
Barriers to having their voices heard
Barriers between cultures
Barriers between young people and their wider community
All the barriers that inhibit or limit young people being healthy, active members of a harmonious community.
We believe that by encouraging young people to have their say and resourcing
them to find and implement their own solutions, young people will be more in
touch with and care about their local area, as they are actively involved in
making it a better place to live. Through this process, not only do young
people’s perceptions of themselves improve, but also the way in which they are
perceived and embraced by the wider community.
We also encourage greater involvement and support from the wider community in looking at and addressing
the issues confronting our local young people.
