"Congratulations to Luke and Caitlin for this big achievement, and thank you for the ongoing work you do for young people in our community."
The youth services team is based out of the Community Centre at 155 Auburn Street. A community shared space for young people aged 12 - 25 is available for information access, entertainment, advice, assistance and referral to other programs and services in the Goulburn Mulwaree area.
The team run a number of programs and events including regular school holiday programs, the Paperback Café and Youth Week. They have strong partnerships and work closely with team members from other local youth services including Headspace, Mission Australia and the PCYC where they contribute to the Fit4Life Program.
