Multicultural Youth Service
Our Multicultural Youth Service supports all multicultural young people regardless of their visa status, length of stay in Australia and cultural or other identity.
Our Multicultural Youth Service supports all multicultural young people regardless of their visa status, length of stay in Australia and cultural or other identity. We provide culturally safe and responsive services that can help young people connect with other young people, with community and cultural events, find employment and other supports, or just more general mentoring.
Our Multicultural Youth Service provides strong advocacy for our multicultural young people, addressing systematic issues such as racism, barriers to accessing services and more. Our work is guided by the voices of our young people and communities.
We deliver free school holiday programs, workshops and other cultural activities and programs to help support young people to learn about mainstream services that are relevant to them, and to help increase their networks.
mHub is also part of a consortium of partners who run Gunners Place, a youth and community centre in Gungahlin.
