Hello Valley Youth Service Providers!

We are excited to announce that we have an array of fun activities for young people to enjoy during the school summer holidays. We would like to engage with young people in an enjoyable setting and for them to discover Valley Youth for their own interests. With this, we encourage you to have a look on what we are offering and pass the information onto young people in your work.

We would also like to mention that we are also welcoming of new young people to our existing all year round programs. If anything on this list seems to be fitting for a young person that you know is connected to Moonee Valley, please pass on the information about the program to them.
