The young people of the Whitsundays and their families are invited to Proserpine Youth Space next Friday for a fun afternoon of activities with the opportunity to chat with a range of local services.
Whitsunday Ballers are setting up their gel-blasting range for attendees to experience, a gladiator duel to challenge guests, and there will be free face-painting, fun workshops, demonstrations, games and prizes.
Many of the activities will be held by local youth service representatives who will be available for questions by young people and their families in a relaxed and easy-going environment.
“This is a great opportunity to see local services that help support youth all together in one place, so they know what’s out there to help them,” said Youth Space Coordinator Renee Buckley.
“There will be loads of fun activities too – we even have an obstacle course where you can time yourself going round the course with and without ‘beer goggles’ on so you can see the effects of alcohol on your response rates.”
Also in attendance will be PCYC Whitsundays who will be providing information about their new ‘Braking the Cycle’ program which helps kids attain their drivers licence by matching them with older mentors who assist with accruing the 100 hours needed to take the test.
Whitsunday Counselling and Support, MADEC, Selectability, Real Mates Talk, Lives Lived well and Headspace will also be present on the day.
The Lions will be cooking up a free BBQ for everyone.
The event kicks-off at 3pm on Friday 8th April and winds down at 7pm.
Youth Space is open from Tuesday to Friday throughout the school holidays from 11.30am to 5.30pm.
A home away from home for young people between the ages of 8 and 21, the centre has a pool table, TV, kitchen, arts activities and more.
Everyone is welcome anytime to the Youth Space centre located at 69 Marathon Street in Proserpine.
