On a program night, young people need to call in to book for program between 3pm and 4pm. Participants will then be picked up from their home address between 4pm and 5pm and return to the centre.
We prepare a nutritious meal on site for dinner and after eating we begin our planned activities for the night. One of our highlights of youth hub is our Yarning Circle – we are very interested in hearing the voice of our Youth.
After activities, all participants are then transported safely to their home address.
Responsible consent: All young people must be registered in person by a parent/caregiver giving consent for the young person to attend Youth Hub. Please feel free to chat with on of our friendly Team members.
