General Information

The Cage Youth Foundation is a non-profit organisation based in Redlands Coast, Queensland, providing support services for young people and families. Founded in 2001, our mission is to empower individuals through counselling, youth programs, community engagement, and social enterprises, creating sustainable change and a sense of belonging for all.

Our services are available to youth, families, and community members in the Redlands area. Whether you’re seeking mental health support, skill-building programs, or a positive community environment, The Cage Youth Foundation welcomes you.

We are based at 882 German Church Road, Redland Bay Queensland. For more specific directions or to schedule a visit, please check our Contact Page for details.

We are funded through a combination of donations, grants, and revenue generated by our social enterprises, including a community café and lawn care services. These self-sustaining enterprises help us continue supporting our mission without relying solely on external donations.

There are many ways to support us! You can volunteer your time, make a donation, or explore partnership opportunities. Every contribution helps us expand our programs and create lasting change in the Redlands community. Visit our Get Involved Page to learn more.

Participation may look different for each individual or family, depending on circumstances, but our goal is always to provide an inclusive and supportive environment.

Our social enterprises include a community café and a lawn care service. These initiatives primarily generate revenue to fund our support services, making our foundation more sustainable and less dependent on donations.
