Passages Youth Engagement Hub
You can make a difference
Currently Passages receive no ongoing government funding and relies heavily on community and corporate donations and specific fundraising events to continue to provide much needed services.
Our Services
The people we help are often excluded from other support services and would otherwise have nowhere else to turn. Passages works to build relationships with young people by offering practical assistance and support, while identifying longer term needs and issues.
- Individualised engagement by professional youth workers
- Information and referrals to supportive agencies
- Outreach support
- Visiting agencies
- Practical needs
- Medical and legal support
- Financial and employment assistance
- Workshops and activities
Our Objectives
The service engages with young people who are experiencing homelessness and disconnection from the community to overcome disadvantage and realise their full potential.
Our People
The service is delivered by professional youth workers who work to empower young people by facilitating their independence and supporting participation in their community. The 1-1 intensive support is often a lengthy process and can be life changing for individuals.
Our Story
Passages is a joint venture between the St Vincent de Paul Society (WA) Inc and the Rotary Club of Perth. Passages Perth was established in 1999 and Passages Peel opened in 2012. The buildings are both named ‘Bendat House’ to honour the generosity of Jack Bendat and family.
