The neighbourhood houses and learning centres in Yarra provide a variety of programs and activities created specifically for their local communities.
These houses and centres, each managed by a volunteer Committee of Governance are run in collaboration with staff, and volunteers from the local community.
Programs and activities
They offer services for all ages including children and youth programs, adult education, art, music, cooking and computer classes, English and other language lessons and community lunches, all at little or no cost.
