School's Out! Youth Services Pty Ltd is a dynamic company dedicated to empowering young people and those involved in their lives.  With statistics representing significant social problems for boys, coupled with a dire lack of services for young men, School's Out!'s core focus is aimed at young men aged 12 - 25 years.  We pride ourselves on being an industry leader in the provision of personal development programs and services across Australia and New Zealand.  

We were established as a sole-trader youth consultancy business in Melbourne in 2005.  By 2009, we had grown considerably and had become an international company, with a team of youth professionals facilitating services to thousands of young men and women all over.  In 2010 however, School's Out! Youth Services refines itself into a specialist service aimed at supporting and empowering the mental health and wellbeing of boys and young men.

At the end of 2010, School's Out! Youth Services will sadly close it's doors indefinately.  Don't miss out on your opportunity to book in a presentation, or purchase any of our resources before December 31st!
