Berry Street’s Y-Change initiative is a social and systemic change platform for young people with lived experiences of socioeconomic disadvantage. Through training and employment, our Lived Experience Consultants learn to understand, build on and adapt the skills and knowledge they have gained through their experience and use this expertise in advocacy, leadership, change-making and professional contexts.
The Youth Research Centre at the University of Melbourne have completed an evaluation of the 2016 pilot phase of the Y-Change program.
