Roving Youth Centre

The Roving Youth Centre will take form as a trailer full of youth friendly games and equipment, from bean bags and board games to an air hockey table as well as arts and craft. It will be sustainable for youth as it will be predominately operated by the local Leo Lions. It will be transported around the community to break down the rural transport issue. It will be aimed at year 7-10, where they will use these activities to take charge of their own free time. Also allowing them to become co-facilitators of activities they are passionate about.

Primarily this project will benefit the community by combating boredom in the local youth, a prevalent issue (51%) among the young people of Gannawarra. This will occur by giving young people ownership over the activities that they partake in. There will be several other benefits that the Roving Youth Centre will bring to the community. It will increase social connection by providing a safe space with fun things to do. Through having a positive and inclusive environment there will be an overall improvement in the mental health of young people.
