We are very excited to be partnering with Well Education to offer a FREE fun and engaging after-school life skills program for young men aged 12-14.


Great Mates - Young Men Empowered aims to encourage self-worth, resilience, confidence, and mateship in a collaborative and welcoming environment. It's all about participants connecting over fun and engaging activities, developing friendships, improving themselves and being a part of their community.


Everyone who attends will be welcomed into a safe and accepting space, a place to connect, have fun and make friends.


Great Mates will run over 8-week blocks on Thursdays with the first session running from the 11th of May - 29th of June. Due to funding from the NSW Government this program is FREE for the entire 8-week duration and all resources and refreshments will be provided.


We are currently taking registrations for this program. To find out more or get involved please call us on 4032 5500 or send an email to youthprograms1@theplacecharlestown.org.au
