Council wants young people living in Wyndham to know that there are a host of services they can access to improve their lives.
The Youth Services department, which operates out of multiple operations and supports people aged 12-25 years in many areas of life, delivered more than 200 programs in the last quarter.
Wyndham mayor Mia Shaw said she wants more young people in the area to know they can use the services or help them operate.
“There are so many ways young people can get involved, attending programs, events, activities and for young people wanting to participate in the community and make a difference there are youth leadership opportunities including, youth committees and volunteering,” Cr Shaw said.
She offered two upcoming events and services run by Youth Services that may be of interest to the community.
Hosted in tandem with Paradox Amplify, the annual battle of the bands event will bring local bands and solo artists out in force at the Youth Services in Hoppers Crossing.
Heats are on September 20-21 and the final event on Saturday, October 4 from 6-10pm.
The Bump Baby and Beyond program is a free service that is offered to pregnant young women up to the age of 25 and offers a space, supportive environment to connect.
The program runs every Wednesday from 11am to 1pm during this school term until October.
