Belmore Youth Resource Centre is a purpose built resource centre for young people aged 12 to 18 years. The centre operates as a one stop shop for young people, as we have other local youth organisations who work in tandem with our Youth Services Team to offer maximum support to young people in our City.

Our biggest aim is to ensure that the programs and policies that we devise for young people in our City reflect their needs. We are committed to working in partnership with local organisations, in order to address the identified needs and issues within our community. This is achieved through a youth consultation process, with young people from our community. This enables us to foster an open forum for young people and community workers to discuss their needs and issues.
