Youth Volunteering
Our youth volunteering programs are a great way for young people aged 14-18 in high school to get involved in the community, develop new skills and hang out with a fun group of people! Many students use the programs to contribute to their Duke of Edinburgh Award or CAS service requirements with weekly meetings being held at the Youth Centre.

The service offers a variety of programs and activities throughout the school term during Drop In hours at the Youth Centre for high school aged young people.

School Holiday Program
During school holidays we run a recreational program for young people in school years 6-12. Every day is different with activities like art workshops, dance workshops, boardgames day, Dungeons & Dragons, movie day and so much more. The program is released three weeks before the holidays begin, and parents can receive notification of this by joining the monthly e-newsletter.

Youth Events
Throughout the year, the service supports in facilitating a variety of youth-led events held at the Youth Centre, and other community spaces in Mosman. Events are driven by young people through our volunteering programs and direct feedback provided from participants at the Youth Centre. In the past, events have included band and music nights at the Youth Centre, the annual Raise The Youth NSW Youth Week dance party at the Art Gallery Grand Hall, events for Mental Health Month in October, and events that align with other important dates such as R U OK? Day, International Day of People with Disability, Harmony Day and NAIDOC Week.
