School Holidays
Get involved in some fun activities with Mosman Youth over the school holidays. Activities are for high school aged young people to hang out with friends in a safe and inclusive drop-in environment. We run a variety of activities and workshops such as art and creative workshops, games, wellbeing sessions and more.
Spring Youth School Holiday Program will run Monday to Friday from 26 September to 7 October.
Our program will include a range of recreational and wellbeing activities, alongside our usual Drop-In space at the Youth Centre. Please check back on Thursday 18 August for our full program. In the meantime check out what we got up to in our last program below.

Our school holiday programs (online and in-person) are facilitated and supervised by youth workers, with trained facilitators. All external facilitators require a cleared Working with Children Check and to adhere to Council’s Child Safety Policy.
Our programs are “Drop-In” in nature, meaning participants can come and go as they please. Young people will be supervised when participating in programs while at the Youth Centre, however a young person may decide to leave centre at any time.
