Youth, Children & Families

At JFA Purple Orange, we work with people of all ages to support inclusion and participation in everyday life. This includes engaging directly with children, young people, families, and carers across many of our projects and advocacy work.

We:

• Support young people with disability aged 16–35 through the Enabled Youth Disability Network (EYDN), where peer connection and leadership are front and centre.

• Partner with families and carers through our SKILL SA peer networks, helping people share experiences, build skills, and strengthen community ties.

• Work with service providers, education institutions and employers to support inclusive practice and build capacity at individual, family, and organisational levels. We do this through our Road to Employment and Disability Inclusion Training projects, and our training and consulting services.

• Advocate for improved supports and outcomes for children and young people with disability, and parents with disability, via our policy submissions.

Everything we do is shaped by the knowledge that people with disability are experts in their own lives — and that inclusion starts with listening, learning, and acting together.
