Did u know our youth workers run over 15 programs/ incursions/ excursions every week 🙌

On Tuesday afternoons they pause for reflective practice - a time to share what’s been happening, and to look at how they can make our programs even better for young people.

It’s how we keep learning, improving and showing up stronger each week 💪

GOT THOUGHTS ON WHAT’s HAPPENING IN YOUR COMMUNITY? FRIDAY 12th JUNE Is our next meetup and you’re invited.

The Youth Consultants Meet-Up is your chance to have a say on local issues, and meet other like minded people.

The nights are always pretty relaxed, interactive, and a space where your ideas are valued. There’s zero pressure to contribute, and if you’re just curious, you’re very welcome.
