Experience a life changing event
The 2007 Celebration of Youth Ball
15th September at the Westin Hotel, Sydney

Join Father Chris Riley, CEO and Founder of Youth Off The Streets and his host Mike Munro for a night you will never forget. This year, 20 lives will be changed forever as Youth Off The Streets and their supporters celebrate the presentation of 20 scholarships to disadvantaged young people from around the nation.

“This is the most inspirational night of my year. These kids have overcome all sorts of adversity and yet they still have the determination to make anything possible. This is a group of amazing young people, every recipient has earned their scholarship on merit. I have no doubt that they will use it to change their life forever,” said Father Chris Riley, CEO and Founder, Youth Off The Streets.

This year’s Celebration of Youth guests will be treated to a performance by Idol finalist, Paulini and a debut performance by rising star and 2006 scholarship recipient, Stevie Adams.

"The scholarship has not only changed my life, but changed my view of life. It made me realise that the impossible is completely possible if I try. It has helped me to achieve so many things including courses towards my dream job I thought I’d never be able to afford to take. Overall it has motivated me in so many ways, I’m so thankful," said Stevie Adams, Youth Off The Streets 2006 Scholarship recipient.

Guests will also have the opportunity to make a difference and win some fabulous prizes including a brand new Kia Sorrento, a Paul McCartney signed guitar and even the original This Is Your Life book with an autographed Greg Norman script and commemorative photos as used in the first series of the popular television programme This Is Your Life.

“The scholarships are win-win for both parties; disadvantaged young people get a real chance to prove their worth in their chosen career, while those generous enough to offer money can see real results as they follow the achievements of their sponsored scholarship recipient,” said Mike Munro, Journalist and television personality.

Now in it’s fourth year, the 2007 Youth Off The Streets Celebration of Youth Ball is set to be the event of the year that is not to be missed.

About Youth Off The Streets:

Youth Off The Streets is a community organisation working for young people who are chronically homeless, drug dependent and recovering from abuse. We support these young people as they work to turn their lives around and overcome immense personal traumas such as neglect and physical, psychological and emotional abuse.

Since opening in 1991, Youth Off The Streets has grown from a single food van delivering meals to young homeless people on the streets of Kings Cross to a major youth specific agency providing a wide range of services offering a full continuum of care.

It is our goal that these young people will leave our care drug free, with a high school education, living skills and a full or part time job in hand.
