Baseline provides support to young people, youth groups, parents, and other agencies that work with young people.
Our Youth Plan 2030+ is an action plan that guides how we will deliver services and programs for young people into the future.
Youth workers listen to and advocate for young people. They can offer information, resources and referral on issues affecting young people and their families, and also make links with schools, and plan community projects.
