The Community Gro Upper Ross Youth Hub provides the young people of our region with a safe environment and an opportunity to foster positive relationships with each other, staff, volunteers and mentors.

The Community Connect Program will help during a crisis. But you don’t have to wait for a crisis either. Come in for a cuppa and a chat to get help with sorting out the concerns in your life.
