Our outreach program aims to connect young people and give them with the tools they need to create change. We cover the entire Clarence region and have a youth centre in Rokeby.
Throughout the month, we host a range of recreational activities and pop ups across the city – mainly our thriving skate parks as well as regional and district parks.
Working directly with local schools we run alternative programs including a wood and metal workshop, arts and creativity, graffiti art, and a Prevention Program (GAPP) and many more. And let’s not forget about our School Holiday Program where we visit such places like Redbank’s, Village Cinemas, Rockit and more.
Youth Services is informed and guided by the Youth Network Advisory Group (YNAG) – a youth leadership group of Clarence City Council made up of young people aged 12 – 24. YNAG advocate on the behalf of Clarence youth and facilitate games and activities through events, health and wellbeing and a series of pop ups.
Importantly, YNAG advocates for youth issues directly to Councillors on a wider range of matters and barriers associated with young people in the region. They partner with entities such as Foodbank, North Melbourne Football Club, Youth Network of Tasmania (YNOT) HART Sport and Speak up Stay Chatty.
Young people of Clarene interested in joining YNAG can email ynag@ccc.tas.gov.au!
