The Youth Space is back in 2025!

If you're aged 12-17 and looking for a chill spot to relax, hang with friends, enjoy some treats, and pick up new skills after school, we've got you covered!

This term, we’ve listened to your feedback and made some exciting changes to make your experience even better. Here’s what’s new:

NEW in Term 2: We're now open every second Friday!

You asked, and we listened! Starting in Week 2 (May 9), we'll be open every second Friday for a Drop-In Session. Come hang out, play games, enjoy some snacks, and catch up with friends!

16+ Drop-In Sessions

We're also offering three 16+ Drop-In Sessions in Term 2, where you can relax, play pool, ping pong, or check out the services we offer. The first session will be on May 15 with the Jobs & Skills Centre available to talk about career pathways, TAFE options, and help with sign-ups. Other 16+ sessions will be on June 5 and June 26 — don’t miss out!

Weekly Schedule:

MONDAYS:
Each week, we'll ask a new question! Share your opinions (no wrong answers) and you might even win a small prize. Plus, enjoy access to our crafts room, games, ping pong, and pool table.

TUESDAYS:
It’s time for sports and friendly competition! Join us each week for outdoor activities like cricket, basketball, totem tennis, volleyball, skating, rugby, footy, and more. Check out our new Challenge Board to see what scores you can break, and win prizes. We’ve also added a Handball/4-Square court!

WEDNESDAYS:
Health & Community are important for everyone! Join us for Quick Fix Cooking Classes, where we’ll cook up some tasty treats. We’re starting earlier this term to give more people the chance to join in!

THURSDAYS:
It’s Arts & Crafts + Downtime. Learn how to make origami, crochet, clay pieces, lantern painting, and more. We’ve got everything you need to get creative, from painting projects to knitting.

FRIDAYS:
Drop-In Fridays are here! Come chill with friends, play video games, pool, ping pong, and enjoy plenty of free food. You can also visit the craft room — there’s always something cool to discover!
