DESIGNING FOR IMPACT

We provide young people with the skills, resources and opportunities to actively shape a better future.

Our services

WHAT WE OFFER

We are a social enterprise that specialises in youth co-design, consulting and creative services.

We create inclusive and collaborative opportunities for our partners and young people to move beyond siloed problem-solving and create lasting solutions together.

Our process

HOW WE DO IT

Our work centres co-design principles that bring professional and lived experiences together, as well as our deep expertise working in intergenerational teams.

We work with clients to identify the right approach to meet their challenges, and generate the greatest impact for young people throughout the process.

Admiring the problem

We take the time to truly understand the challenge or opportunity and get deep on our assumptions, biases, knowledge and questions.

Building solutions

We rigorously come up with ideas to address the problem and decide what solutions to build, test and iterate.

Scaling for impact

We take what we've developed back through our co-design model to amplify its impact in target communities.

SYSTEMS OF IMPACT

Our focus

We work across complex systems that disproportionately affect young people.

“The team at YLab are highly empathetic, engaged and intelligent. They were a joy to work with.”
