Partnering with you to co-design the systems and services of the future.
What is YLab?
YLab was created by the Foundation for Young Australians in 2016 to offer high-quality entry-level opportunities to young people facing employment barriers. Fast-forward eight years, they’re an independent social impact organisation with deep expertise, networks and communities of diverse young people.
YLab is a team of young people from diverse lived experiences and disciplines who collaborate with clients, partners and communities to tackle some of society’s most complex problems. They have a community of 70 YLab Associates who have diverse lived experience and technical expertise. Young people intimately understand the problems we’re trying to solve because they’re challenges they face in their own lives.
YLab has a dedicated First Nations practice area, where young First Nations people connect with clients, communities and Elders to shape systems that centre First Nations people, cultures and solutions.
“YLab puts diverse young minds at the centre of its work and our communities helping to shift the prism of possibilities to inspire change.”
