Youth Support Worker

Josh Johnson 

Josh has been a Youth Worker for the last 7 years in various not for profit and government departments around Perth including PCYC, both in the Midland Centre and Outreach (streets).  He has supported students at Swan Behavioural Centre and more recently prior to his appointment at DRSC, Josh was located at the School of Special Education: Behaviour and Engagement where he created and ran a wide range of programs for disengaged youth.

Josh also runs a youth program outside of school hours that largely encompasses a mentoring component for young people who are involved with the Department of Communities.  This, with his combined passion of Martial Arts, which he has been involved with training, coaching, participating and competing for over 19 years, gives him a good understanding of how young people work.   This enables Josh to work with a broad range of young people to achieve positive goals.
