Our Story

Supporting young people and families since 1977

Northern Area Community & Youth Services Inc. (NACYS) has been supporting families, children, and young people in the northern suburbs of Adelaide since 1977.

What started as a small community initiative has grown into a trusted organisation delivering more than 16 programs across early childhood education, therapeutic services, and community development.

Our approach is grounded in the belief that every person deserves access to quality support, regardless of their circumstances. We work alongside families and communities, building on their strengths and responding to their needs.

NACYS is governed by a volunteer Board of Management and operates from our community centre on Oldford Road, Davoren Park. We employ a team of dedicated staff and welcome volunteers who share our commitment to making a difference.

We are proud to be part of the northern Adelaide community and look forward to continuing this work for many years to come.
