The YMCA (the Y) WA holds the safety of children and young people as our highest priority.

That’s why the tragic murder of Cassius Turvey has rocked us all. Cassius was acknowledged and celebrated as a young Aboriginal leader in his community.

No child or young person should be a victim of racism, discrimination, harm, or violence.
