A richly detailed work of institutional and social history, this centennial volume chronicles the first hundred years of Try Youth and Community Services, an organization dedicated to supporting young people and communities from its founding in 1883 through to 1983. Wallace Landells presents a carefully researched narrative that traces the evolution of the organization's mission, programs, and leadership across a century of profound social change in Australia. The tone is reverential yet informative, honoring the dedication of countless volunteers, staff, and benefactors who shaped the organization's legacy while grounding their stories in the broader historical context of youth welfare and community service. Illustrated with archival detail, the account documents pivotal milestones, shifting social policies, and the enduring commitment to service that defined Try's century of impact. This commemorative history stands as both a tribute to those who built the organization and an invaluable record for anyone interested in the development of community welfare services in Australia.
