Kurri Youth Centre offers young people aged between 12 and 18 a safe space within their community. The centre offers young people a diverse range of structured and semi-structured activities, outings and social opportunities.

The Youth Centre is under the auspice of Kurri Kurri Community Centre funded by the Department of Community Services.

The Centre provides an opportunity for young people to participate in activities and outings, which they may normally, not experience.

The following is an outline of some of the activities and programs being offered:

• Social evenings where young people can listen to music
• Play pool
• Watch movies and catch up with mates

The Youth Centre is currently open Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4pm till 7.30pm.

The Youth Centre encourages young people to be responsible for their behaviour and actions by rewarding positive behaviour, good communication and providing opportunities for young people to make valuable contributions to their community.
