About CMY

The Centre for Multicultural Youth (CMY) is a non-profit organisation based in Victoria and has been shaping culture alongside multicultural young people and communities since 1988. Our purpose is to create a society where multicultural young people live a life where they are connected and can fully reach their potential.

CMY works to address systemic barriers that impact multicultural young people by:

• Advocating for social change, challenging inequities and barriers that multicultural young people face.
• Delivering support services and programs to young people and families.
• Connecting and creating innovative opportunities for multicultural young people.
• Amplifying the voices and experience of multicultural young people to shift narratives and influence systems.
• Influencing government and policy makers with evidence-based information and lived experience.
• Developing the knowledge, confidence and skills of other organisations, businesses and government.
• Researching current issues affecting multicultural young people to inform what we do.

Our work is youth-informed, strengths-based, and grounded in diversity, inclusion and anti-racism. At CMY, we all play a part in shaping systems, attitudes and behaviours that create the society we all deserve. Find out more: cmy.net.au/about-us
