About Weave Youth & Community Services

Weave Youth & Community Services is a place-based community organisation located on unceded Gadigal and Bidjigal Land in Sydney, that has been delivering a range of programs, supports and services developed with and for the community for 48 years. 

Weave’s purpose is to empower people to change their lives, and healing and connection is at the centre of our work. Weave supports children, young people, women and families who are impacted by systemic disadvantage and intergenerational trauma. Around 70% of those we support across Weave are Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people. As a non-Aboriginal controlled organisation, Weave is strongly committed to walking alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in their ongoing fight for justice and self-determination. 

Our work at every level is guided by our Aboriginal Healing Framework.

About the role

The Weave Kool Kids Program is an early intervention and prevention program providing children aged 7-13 years, with opportunities to engage in recreational activities and mentoring. Focused on improving social and emotional health and wellbeing, connection to culture and promoting strength and resilience. There is also a “Switch” Leadership component to the program which supports young people up to age 18.

The program prioritises children and young people who face multiple challenges in their lives and who are impacted by intergenerational trauma and systemic disadvantage. 90% of participants are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.

The Weave Kool Kids Program Manager leads all aspects of the running the program and guides and supports a team of committed and dedicated Youth & Community Workers and caseworkers.
