Featuring real-life stories from young people across Western Australia, together with a mix of high profile personalities and professional speakers to offer practical support and advice.
YChats has been created following focus groups with young people across the state where they identified the need for a safe space for them to talk through their own lived experiences as well as hear from experts on how best to navigate difficult times and situations.
YMCA WA's aim is to start conversations about those topics people often find difficult to discuss, whilst removing stigmas.
Ever wondered what happens when young people take the reins of media creation?
Join us on a captivating journey with Isaac, the visionary behind Youth Jam Radio, as we explore how this youth-led platform is revolutionising the airwaves.
From the genesis of the idea to navigating challenges and fostering community support, discover how Youth Jam Radio is empowering young voices and reshaping the media landscape. Isaac recognised a need in his community for a platform that empowered himself and other young people to tell their own stories and talk about things they care about in an unfiltered, uninstitutionalised way.
The path way not always easy, but Isaac tells us all about how he made it happen, overcoming obstacles, building a strong team, and bringing his vision to life, as well as some of the things he’s experienced hosting a radio show.
So, let's hear it!

What does Meaningful Work look like for young people? Global Youth Survey!!
Did you know that 3/4 young people lack the skills needed for employment?
Did you know that a 15-year-old can expect to have 17 jobs across 5 different industries?
Did you know that 40% of the global workforce is considering leaving their employer this year?
We dream of a world where all youth have access to dignified, meaningful, and purposeful work. To achieve that dream, we need to understand the opinions and experiences of young people.
