It’s shaping up to be a winter wonderland in the Snowy Monaro with Council recently announcing its action-packed calendar of youth activities and events for the upcoming school holidays.
Activities are scheduled across the region from Bredbo in the north to Bombala in the south, with a huge variety of options. Spaces are limited for some activities so anyone interested in getting involved should RSVP without delay. Activities are open to young people from 5 to 12 years or 12 through to 18 years.
“Our Council is proud to offer an entertaining and enriching calendar of youth activities and events throughout the year,” said Mayor Peter Beer, Snowy Monaro Regional Council.
“Supporting our region’s young people is incredibly important, and youth programs are a key part of providing a positive and constructive environment for the young people in the Snowy Monaro.”
Research has shown youth programs offer a significant range of benefits to the young people that participate in them.
A review of the scientific literature by Dr. Jean B Grossman and Meridel J. Bulle in the Journal of Adolescent Health found that among the positive outcomes, participants achieved better academically, have better mental health and engage in less risk-taking behaviour.
Council wishes to thank Y Space NSW and Berridale Out of School Hours (OOSH) for their partnership and support in delivering activities.
