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!

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