Youth Opportunities has been repeatedly recognised through the Community Achievement awards as an innovator in the space of mental health and social and emotional wellbeing. Each year we engage with more than 2,000 young people from 30+ schools and organisations right across Australia. We work in partnership with schools, community organisations and individual young people to deliver wellbeing and resilience programs and a range of wrap-around services. Our young people consistently report that the programs help them develop the lifelong skills, habits and confidence to overcome challenges, strengthen relationships and build resilience. 

Erin Faehrmann is the Chief Executive of Youth Opportunities. As a kid from humble beginnings and a childhood facing very complex challenges herself, she has a passion for supporting our youth to be their best no matter their circumstances.
