Great Mates - Enrolments Open

FREE Youth Program for Boys Aged 12 - 16

The first round of ‘Great Mates’ has finished, and it has been an incredible term! Every one of the boys has put in 100% effort week in and week out, and we couldn’t be more proud of them. Each session we have had discussions around Positive Masculinity and Mateship, while still having time for Nerf Wars, Aluminium Tower Competitions, Kickboxing Sessions and Reptiles Shows!


As we say goodbye to these terrific young men that have been a part of our program, it’s time to offer a brand new group of boys their own ‘Great Mates’ journey.


Our next round will begin on the 15 February 2024 and run until the 4 April 2024. The program will run every Thursday evening from 4pm - 6pm. Participation  is FREE and all food, beverages and resources will be provided!


To enrol your participant in our program click here, otherwise you can email Rhys at youthprograms1@theplacecharlestown.org.au or give one of us a call on (02) 4032 5500.


This program is proudly funded by the NSW Government and offered by The Place Charlestown Community Centre in collaboration with Well Education.

This Neighbourhood Centre Week, we pay homage to the remarkable strength that emerges when diverse individuals come together for a shared purpose. Helen Keller's timeless words, "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much," resonate deeply as we reflect on the power of unity and community. In communities across Australia, Neighbourhood and Community Houses and Centres (NCHCs) stand as the beating heart of local neighbourhoods. At these centres like ours, we strive to embody the essence of togetherness, bringing people from all walks of life together to connect, learn, and play. Through collaborative initiatives, inclusive programs, and shared spaces, we cultivate an environment where every voice is heard, every story is valued, and every member contributes to the vibrant mosaic of our shared community. To celebrate the value of our local community, join us for a warm cuppa and lively conversations at The Place on 14th May, from 10 am – 12 pm. Whether you're a longtime resident or new to the area, there's a place for you here! Discover the variety of programs and activities at The Place tailored to enrich every aspect of your life, from health and wellness initiatives to educational workshops and social gatherings. Come and experience The Place where people meet, connect, belong, and grow. Neighbourhood Centre Week is a time to celebrate the bonds that unite us and the spaces that nurture them. So, come on over, grab a cuppa, and let's build a stronger, more connected community together! Free light morning tea will be provided. To book your spot, please call us on 02 4032 5500, or email us at programsassistant@theplacecharlestown.org.au
