YMYW More
YMYW: Peer Support workers Bek Steel and Liz Quinn from Micah Projects Young Mothers for Young Women (YMYW). YMYW works on a peer support model: young women supporting other young women. The Peer Support Workers assist young women alongside Family Support and Early Childhood Workers. “It’s pretty much helping people get back on their feet and taking control of their own lives,” says Bek. YMYW provides assistance in areas such as child development, substance abuse, housing issues, domestic violence, maintaining tenancy, advocacy, working with Centrelink and many other important life issues.

50 Lives 50 Homes Campaign

Micah Projects is a community organisation with an unswerving commitment to social justice.

We believe that every child and adult has the right to a home, an income, health care, education, safety, dignity and connection with their community of choice. Micah Projects provides a range of support and advocacy services to individuals and families.

Without the support of the Queensland Government, our donors and supporters, we could not provide vital services to the community.
