Young people

We strive to be a city where children and young people are valued, happy, healthy and safe and actively participate in our community. Boroondara Youth provides programs, services and events for young people who live, work, study or visit Boroondara.

Visit our Youth Hub

We are located at Level 1, 360 Burwood Road, Hawthorn, next to the Hawthorn Arts Centre. Come and hang out with us from 12 pm (midday) to 6 pm (Monday to Friday), or from 10 am during school holidays.
