Empowering Youth Through Environment, Education & Entrepreneurship

WOODSTOCK FARM

Where Land, Community & Young People Connect

Youth Enterprise Trust (YET) is a Queensland-based charity established in 1990 by Lloyd Hancock to support disadvantaged young people. Our mission is to create meaningful change in the lives of young people through hands-on experiences that connect them to the environment, education, and entrepreneurship.

YET focuses on:

  • Building self-esteem, resilience, and work readiness

  • Encouraging a deep appreciation for Australia’s natural environment and conservation values

  • Providing practical pathways into training, employment, and small business

In 2003, through a major anonymous donation, YET acquired Woodstock Farm — a 121-hectare property in the Gold Coast Hinterland. Surrounded by the Albert River and nestled beneath a pristine mountain range, Woodstock is a place of growth, learning, and transformation. It serves as a working farm, outdoor classroom, and safe space for personal development.

Woodstock Farm is the heart of YET’s mission — where land, community, and young people come together. This powerful connection is symbolised by the three-pointed leaf of the Kurrajong tree, the emblem of YET.
