About this cause
Young people with lived experience of parental and kinship incarceration are among the most overlooked in this country. Yung Prodigy exists to change that.
Who We Are
Yung Prodigy is founded on lived expertise. We focus on mobilising young people impacted by parental and kinship incarceration, addressing an often-invisible issue and policy gap in Australian service provision. This gap impacts an estimated 40,000+ young people. Our vision is to liberate young people from the impacts of the carceral system, equipping them with the skills, resources, and community support needed to dismantle cycles of systemic disadvantage. Yung Prodigy operates through five key avenues being; research, advocacy, education, mentorship, and nourishment. We build strong community networks, empowered youth advocates, and improved wellbeing for young people. Ultimately, Yung Prodigy’s work fosters systemic change, creating pathways to thrive that steer away from carceral cycles. By centering the voices of lived experience, we aim to dismantle intergenerational cycles of incarceration and disadvantage.
