Youth Participation
Youth Services supports and encourages young people to become involved in the planning and organising of programs, activities and events presented.
Young people are actively engaged and consulted in the overall development and direction of the Youth Centres and their programs, activities and events, through forums, surveys and meetings.
As part of a holistic view of education and support, Communities@Work Youth Services strive to work closely with youth workers, counsellors, health coordinators, welfare teams, educators, and support staff at local high schools and colleges.
