About

Open Access provides a safe place for young people aged 12-25 years to hang out, grab a bite to eat, or chat with a youth worker.  The Belconnen Youth Centre is equipped with bean bags, board games, pool/snooker, table tennis, foosball, a reading corner, gaming consoles, computers, cooking and craft supplies, and offers regular organised activities. Young people can also access a washing machine and dryer, kitchen facilities and a shower.

Open Access occurs every Tuesday and Thursday from 3pm-5pm, and Fridays from 3pm-7pm. Friday’s Open Access includes ‘Free Feed Friday’ which offers a chance for young people to suggest recipes, help cook and enjoy a hot meal together before the weekend.

Open Access runs during the school term and is replaced by Youth School Holiday Program during ACT public school holiday periods.

You can also check out what’s been happening by visiting the Belconnen Youth Centre Facebook page.
