The Geelong Youth Hub will be a welcoming, fun and inclusive space for young people 12 to 25 years of age, where the City and youth services will work together to ensure all young people are supported to connect, access fun activities, information and relevant services when they need them.
We have opened two expression of interest campaigns for the future Geelong Youth Hub, inviting young people to register their interest in being part of the Youth Hub Reference Group and/or be involved in the creation of a mural.
Find out more below.
We want to hear from young people interested in being involved in the creation of a mural which will be a feature piece at the hub.
Young people with other creative skills and interests such as drawing, digital art, sculpture, creative writing, music, photography, film and video are also encouraged to register their details for other projects at the hub.
If this sounds like you, please complete our Expression of Interest (EOI) form.
The Youth Hub Reference Group will be responsible for providing advice to support the effective planning and operations of the Geelong Youth Hub Pilot, ensure that programming is responsive to the needs of young people and endeavour to reduce barriers to accessing services and support.
If you are aged between 12-25, you are invited to help lead our youth hub. Apply now by completing an Expression of Interest (EOI) form.
