We strive to be a city where children and young people are valued, happy, healthy, safe​ and actively participate in our community. Boroondara Youth provides programs, services​ and events for young people who live, work, study​ or visit Boroondara.

Visit our Youth Hub

We are located at Level 1, 360 Burwood Road, Hawthorn. We are in the same building as the Hawthorn Arts Centre but have a separate entrance. To access the Hub, enter via the side of the building, through the glass sliding door and up the rainbow stairs.

Come and hang out with us Monday to Friday, from 12 (noon) to 6 pm or from 10 am to 6 pm during school holidays.
