Yfoundations

Yfoundations is a peak body organisation of youth homelessness services in New South Wales, Australia. The organisation advocates on behalf of member organisations to governmental bodies and agencies to provide policy and structural advocacy, services for young people, health projects, and research and sector development.[1][2]

Founding

Yfoundations was founded in 1979 by eighteen youth homelessness services in New South Wales. The organisation was initially called Youth Refuge Action Group (YRAG), and changed its name several times over the years, including YRA, YRAA, YAA, and presently, Yfoundations. The organisation's founding members include Caretakers Cottage, Taldumande Youth Services and Young People's Refuge, the first of the NSW youth refuges.[2][3]

gollark: Maybe… even weaker types? Integer types with crazier names and also u24s and stuff for some reason? Do operator overloading to a stupid degree in the stdlib?
gollark: Idea: C-flat language, like C but stupider somehow.
gollark: Clearly what we need is C with better macros, so that "extensions" are no longer necessary.
gollark: What's the issue with `{}`?
gollark: Unlike all osmarkscode™, as I pride myself on strict compliance with what the compiler complains about or not.
