Auburn Youth Centre provides a safe and inclusive space for young people aged 12-24 in the Auburn LGA. With a focus on empowering youth to pursue their dreams and become active members of their community, AYC offers a range of programs and activities tailored to meet the diverse needs of young individuals. From the AYCafe training program that helps young people gain skills in hospitality to partnerships with various community organizations, AYC is committed to creating pathways towards a positive and healthy future for all young people.
Established in 1986, Auburn Youth Centre has been a cornerstone of support for young people from various cultural, linguistic, religious, and ethnic backgrounds. The Centre’s relocation to Wyatt Park in Lidcombe has allowed for the expansion of facilities, including a music recording studio, computer lab, and a commercial training kitchen and cafe. AYC’s commitment to breaking down barriers and fostering a harmonious community is evident through its free programs and activities that cater to individuals from all socio-economic backgrounds.
Supported by government funding, corporate partnerships, and dedicated volunteers, Auburn Youth Centre has positively impacted the lives of over 1500 young people in 2022 alone. Through a holistic approach that addresses education, employment, mental health, and social inclusion, AYC continues to be a beacon of hope and support for the youth of Western Sydney. With a passionate team of board members and staff who bring a wealth of experience and expertise, AYC is poised to further expand its services and create more opportunities for young individuals to thrive and succeed.
