Richmond Youth Hub isn’t just a place for young people to connect. It’s a place where young people connect to essential services, feel supported and are empowered to reach their full potential through social, recreational and educational programs.

Opened in March, the hub is the result of extensive community consultation and was specifically designed with youth input. Students Rahma, Devon and Raghda regularly participate in programs at Richmond Youth Hub. They appreciate that the hub is led by the young people themselves, and participants can choose activities and topics that interest them.

Devon likes that she can be herself in a space free from judgement. Richmond Youth Hub finds ways to support you through every aspect of being a young person. “The youth workers are able to empathise and get in touch with us with things we struggle with. The hub makes you feel comfortable and supported. It makes me feel like I’ve got places I can go,” Rahma said.

Richmond Youth Hub is located at 110 Elizabeth St, Richmond. It has been delivered through a partnership between Yarra Council and the Victorian Government with building works completed in late 2020.
