SKYS (St Kilda Youth Service) has been operating in the City of Port Phillip since 1982.  SKYS is a generalist youth service which targets ‘at risk’ young people by providing case management, counselling and education and training programs.  SKYS has long been committed to the service delivery principles that maximise young people’s potential through the creation of opportunities, which enhance the quality of their lives and connection to their community. 

SKYS specialises in forming deep community networks to strongly support our young people

HEAT (Hospitality Employment and Training) is a practical youth re-engagement program delivered from the SKYS Training Centre in South Melbourne. It is an innovative and practical program that assists young people in developing self-esteem: gaining accredited training qualifications in the hospitality industry, work experience in local businesses and prepares them for the world of work.
HEAT operates in an informal learning environment and is designed to dramatically improve the lives of many young people who are disengaged from mainstream education. HEAT achieves this through supporting young people to make a positive transition to secure employment, thus avoiding the negative traps of long term unemployment.
