GLEBE
YOUTH SERVICE
Glebe Youth Service is a non-government youth service dedicated to the recreation and support of young people who live, work, study or play in the Glebe area. Young people aged 12 to 24 are welcomed into the service to have fun, get to know our workers and get assistance with any issue that they have concerns about. The service is funded by the Department of Community Services and City of Sydney. Other agencies have provided small grants for a range of purposes. We also get support from the Glebe community in the form of volunteers and donations. At the service we expect to be able to maintain a comfortable and safe environment for all young people. Violence and threats are not allowed and those visibly under the influence of drugs or alcohol are asked to leave. We view the service as an oasis from the many problems that beset the disadvantaged in Glebe. The majority of young people that attend the service are from the Glebe Housing Estate. Most are Aboriginal and many come from backgrounds that have left them with serious disadvantage. Our goal is to provide them with the skills and information they need to move forward in a positive way. |
