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 50 years. 

Weave’s purpose is to support individual and collective wellbeing and healing in the communities we walk alongside. Weave supports children, young people, women and families who are impacted by systemic disadvantage and intergenerational trauma. Around 70% of all 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.

Creating Futures Justice Program

Weave’s Creating Futures Justice Program supports young people and adults aged 10–30 who are transitioning from custody to community or have other criminal justice involvement, and who have strong connections to the City of Sydney LGA, La Perouse and its surrounding suburbs. Caseworkers provide strengths-based, trauma-informed, client-led, wrap-around casework support, tailored to each individual client to give them the best chance of living their lives free from criminal justice involvement.
