Y Spaces

As part of YMCA Victoria's commitment to community impact, YMCA Youth Services facilitates Y Spaces across the state.

Y Spaces exist as a place for young people to connect with one another, learn and develop new skills, and engage with their community.

Currently, YMCA Youth Services facilitates Y Spaces in these areas of Victoria; Bass Coast and the Peninsula.

Bass Coast YES Youth Hub

We're working to empower and inspire young people in the Bass Coast region at the YES Youth Hub.

The YES Youth Hub provides a space for young people to connect with peers and community supports through various programs, activities and events. Examples of these include:

  • Youth Advisory Council
  • Holiday program activities
  • Careers events
  • Free meals on Mondays

Peninsula Youth Services

YMCA Peninsula Youth Services has been operating in the region for the past 11 years.

Peninsula Youth Services regularly runs programs, retreats, and services in mentoring and support at Jimmy's Youth Wellbeing Sanctuary.

All activities run are underpinned by our four pillars of wellbeing;

  • Moving the body
  • Stilling the mind
  • Taking care of our gut health
  • Firing up the brain
