Building Community by Investing in Youth

Riley "Coyote" - Our Newest Work Experience Student

Our newest work experience student through the Career Links pathway, Riley “Coyote” from Jesmond Callaghan College has joined our admin team during the end of August to assist with his educational studies and has done an incredible job, even earning himself his very own trophy!


On top of helping our admin team with a variety of tasks, Riley has been learning all about the behind-the-scenes of what is involved in keeping our Community Centre running, as well as learning all the staffs inside jokes and getting a taste for what he may be interested in when it comes time to leave high school.


On Coyote’s last day, our team gathered to celebrate his time with us, reflecting on the positive impact he had during his short stay, his infections enthusiasm and witty jokes which will all definitely be missed!


As he sets forth on his journey beyond high school in the next few years, we have no doubt that Riley “Coyote” will continue to display his hard work, sense of humour and sense of curiosity wherever he will go.

What makes a great venue? According to our 5-star reviews, it's more than just quality facilities and a convenient location. It's the experience, the support, and the confidence that your event is in good hands. At The Place, we provide professional, flexible spaces for meetings, workshops, training sessions, community events and corporate functions. Our team works closely with organisers to ensure every event runs smoothly from start to finish. What makes us different is that every booking creates impact beyond the room itself. As a Social Enterprise, venue hire at The Place helps fund local community programs that reduce social isolation, build skills, strengthen connections and create opportunities for people across our region. So when you're planning your next meeting, workshop, training day or event, consider a venue that delivers value for you or your organisation while supporting meaningful outcomes in the community.
