Jabiru Community Youth and Children's Services

Jabiru Kids is the school-aged program of Jabiru Community Youth and Children’s Services Association Inc – a community-based, non-profit organisation committed to providing community services and support for children, young people, and families.
We provide before school, after school, and vacation programs at a variety of locations throughout Brisbane. Our administration is handled centrally by our office at Bracken Ridge on Brisbane’s northside.

We’re committed to building ‘communities for kids’
A child attending Jabiru Kids for most of the time on most days throughout their primary school years would be with us for about 8,000 hours. That’s a lot of time! The investment by their parents and the government is around $50,000.
For this investment of time and money, we believe that school-based programs should be more than a safe holding-pen for children that exists between the other, more meaningful, parts of their lives.
We believe that school-based programs are an important place of fun, learning, relaxation, and belonging. At the same time, we seek to provide a place that does not add to the busy-ness and stress of children’s already full lives. We’re committed to building ‘communities for kids’: places where children belong and feel welcome.
