From virtual reality to practical career sessions, the Youth Hive in Knox is gearing up to put on a number of workshops for the youth of the area.
Knox residents have a diverse range of activities planned for 10-25-year-olds during these school holidays.
The Knox Youth Services team will be running a range of activities. These free events are for young people who live, work, study or have a connection to Knox.
Knox Mayor, Cr Jude Dwight said that these school holidays we have workshops about using artificial intelligence, exploring career options, reviewing your resume and making pocket-sized hearts as part of the 1000 Hearts craft project which aims to spread kindness.
“The Youth Hive is a safe place for young people to hang out, meet up with other young people and discuss whatever’s on their mind with trained youth workers,” she said.
“It’s located inside the new Knox Library at Westfield shopping centre and is staffed from 2pm-5pm Monday to Friday during school term.”
The address for the Knox Library is Westfield Knox, level 3, 425 Burwood Highway, Wantirna South (above Rebel Sports).
For any questions or further information on the Winter holiday activities contact the Youth Services team on 9298 8000.
