We thought this would be a good way to show you what YouthZone
is about and also an easy way to contact us. If you haven't visited
or heard of us before, we are a youth-based organisation created
to assist young people with any need they may have. We also run
various events, programs and fun activities that young people can
get involved in.
What do you mean by Assisting Young
People? We make confusing or difficult situations easier
for you to understand or deal with. Whether it's a legal matter,
Centrelink trouble, through to finding out TAFE course information
- we can let you know your options, give you guidance (if wanted)
and/or intervene with the matter.
Can I get individual assistance? Yes, you can. Our Youth Workers are happy to meet
with you and can help you with all aspects of getting you to where
you want to be. This includes jobs, education, living circumstances,
and difficulties when dealing with institutes.
