Abstract

The Youth Support and Development (YSD) program is developed and funded by the Department of Human Services (DHS) South Australia. This program funds organisations to deliver services to young people in South Australia who are at risk of or are experiencing vulnerabilities. Current services under this program have been contracted for the 2021-2024 financial years. To make informed decisions for the next commissioning stage, the DHS Evaluation Management Office (EMO) has been tasked to facilitate an evaluation of the services by contracting the Centre for Social Impact (CSI) at Flinders University. This report contains the results of the quantitative component of the evaluation of the YSD program, as well as recommendations for ongoing enhancement and evaluation of the program.
