Youth school holiday program

Join our Youth team for a range of events and activities during school holidays designed for young people aged 10 to 25.

Each school holiday, our team at the Belconnen Youth Centre runs a range of events and activities for young people aged 10 to 25 years old.

Our schedule is developed following consultation with young people who attend our regular events, so it’s based on their interests and ideas. We include opportunities in the Youth Centre and excursions across the ACT.

We also collaborate with other ACT youth centres to facilitate events and activities together, encouraging social and community connections.

We will post more information about our schedule here and on our social media channels before each set of school holidays.
