Youth Services

1. Our Services

Community Centre: 155 Auburn Street.

Goulburn Mulwaree Council provides a range of services for young people.

Council's Youth Services team is based at the Community Centre. Our youth programs provide a safe space for young people aged 12-24yrs to access information, enjoy fun and educational activities, and seek assistance and referrals to other programs and services in the Goulburn Mulwaree area. We can assist with building job readiness and employability skills, education and homelessness needs.  

Our friendly, approachable and non-judgmental team are available to assist with any issues relating to youth. We are always keen to chat about anything that may be troubling you and can help you to make connections with other service and support providers. If you haven't been to the Centre before, drop by and check us out. There will be a program, activity or event for you. You will always find a friendly face and a fun and relaxed environment here.

PCYC - Fit 4 Life Program

We support our local PCYC to deliver this physical and mental wellbeing program for high school aged youth. The program is aimed at supporting the development of a healthy lifestyle through exercise and nutrition. Youth who may be struggling at school with issues such as poor attendance, managing peer pressure and adapting to high school etc. receive valuable mentoring support.
