Bad luck can befall anyone at any time and at these times there is no better feeling than a helping hand that puts some hope back into your life. Hope Street is assisting young people who need it the most – they may have ended up on the street or just in a bad way, with nowhere to turn. Just putting a roof over their heads can be the first step in getting their lives back on track.

The treatment of homeless youth can't afford to be ignored. Having a home means having more than shelter and amenities. It means being part of a community, contributing to the society, culture and economy in which it embodies and ultimately underpins a healthy and fulfilling life. I support Hope Street because they help to alleviate the continual struggle that homeless youths experience.

Jack Moshakis

Jack is responsible for the philanthropic programs of Wesley College including capital fundraising, scholarships, corporate sponsorship and bequests. He also oversees the Alumni Association which has more than 20,000 alumni nationally and internationally.

Hope Street is a remarkable organisation that provides a caring and structured environment that allows young people the opportunity to start rebuilding their lives. As a Corporate Committee member, I hope to make a small contribution to Hope Street's important work and encourage others to do so to.

Angus (BA Hons, Ph.D) has worked with Ecodynamics for the past 16 years in various roles including Estimator, Project Manager, Regional Manager and, currently, State Manager.

A measure of any society is the manner in which it treats its most disadvantaged members. Hope Street provides, to our most vulnerable youth, a highly effective pathway from poverty and hopelessness towards a future of security and normality. For those of us who have not experienced homelessness, Hope Street has exposed the human dimension of the issue and has given businesses like ours a concrete opportunity to be part of a solution to reducing homelessness.

Clare Masters

Clare lives in Sydney. She has worked in media and communications for nearly two decades. She started out as a news journalist for many years for major metro newspapers across general news, health and politics portfolios, and then worked in chief of staff and news editor roles. Following journalism she worked as media adviser and speech writer for the then NSW Premier Mike Baird before moving into corporate communications.

I am impressed with Hope Street's work and philosophies and intent to create lasting change; what better outcome could there be than helping young people before they get caught in a cycle that could determine the rest of their life? There is a quote that has always stayed with me that is: 'it is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men' and I think that is exactly what Hope Street sets out to do.

Youth homelessness is something that has been very close to me for long period of time. I have dealt with homelessness at different levels and know how hard it can be for people who are going through it. I want to remove the misconceptions about homelessness and bring to light one of the most pressing issues that society faces in the modern age. Every person is entitled to have a support network and I want be part of a group that pushes that idea forward.
