Youth Activities
Up one level
The Shire provides a range of programs and activities for both individuals and groups to address the needs of young people in our district. We do this by speaking regularly to young people and the community, and by working closely with other agencies.
Various youth groups run workshops, youth events, camps, and develop programs aimed at health, entertainment, sport, recreation, art and culture. If you have an idea for a program or workshop that you would like to see in your local area, call us, we'd love to hear from you.Youth Workers
The Shire has a Community Development Officer which has as part of the position a Youth development, activities program and financially assists several other part-time youth workers throughout our Shire district, all of whom continue to support our communities young people between the ages of 11 - 18 years.We also highly value and support, wherever we can, the work of both the Youth Outreach Program (YOP) and Mission Australia (Youth Pathways Program) and their case workers. These mentors are highly mobile and can arrange to talk with youth and support young people on anything from family problems, difficulties at school, relationships, feeling down, alcohol and other drug issues, accommodation, education, training and employment, income support or even legal issues.
