Our facilities
Our Community Centres based in North Lakes, Acacia Ridge, and Springfield Lakes provide a safe and welcoming space for young people to connect, have fun and receive the support they need. Young people have the opportunity to form friendships and develop their sense of self, wellbeing and confidence through social, cultural and recreational activities.
Why?
Ensuring young people have a voice and feel heard is central to the work of the YMCA. We know that four out of every five young people don’t feel confident to speak on matters that concern them. Mental health problems and disorders also account for 50% of the burden of disease among young people.
Our community hubs are a place where they can share their thoughts and ideas, and be heard. We are committed to developing young people into resilient and confident adults equipped with skills and abilities to be a part of their community.
