Excursions:

Auburn Youth Centre gives priority to those who are disadvantaged and residing in and around the Cumberland LGA. The criteria for determining this is based on:

• Being on a Government benefit
• Being from a low income household
• Being an unattended minor
• School age

Failure to attend Excursions:

• Places are valuable and excursions are generally prepaid. Please notify us 48 hours before the excursion if you cannot attend. Failure to do so will result in not being eligible  for excursions during the next holidays.

In House Activities

We require all applicants to be aged between 12-21 or as otherwise noted in the program. We understand that parents often want to watch or do activities with their children. We strongly encourage parents to leave their children / young person in our care, we have trained and qualified youth workers and social workers supervising their wellbeing. This is an opportunity for young people to have new experiences,  engage with new people and possibly make new friends in a safe place.

Centre based programs sometimes ask for registrations.  If you wish to participate in these programs you must register. We do this so we can be sure that we have enough resources available. If you register for inhouse activities you are immediately accepted.

All other activities you can attend without registering. We would love to see you at each of our in house activities.

Young people can drop in to the Centre over the holidays at any time.
