Youth Team Programs

As part of our commitment to developing and supporting young people in the Yarra Ranges, the Youth Development Team hosts and supports several core programs.

Our first 5 programs feature opportunities for young people to learn new skills, meet and befriend local young people, get job-ready and get support from our team.

Outer East Youth Service Providers Network (OEYSPN) provides opportunities for professionals across the Outer Eastern suburbs to connect with youth opportunities, professional development, and service updates.
