Youth Centre
The West Perth Youth Centre is a safe, welcoming space where youth can connect, learn, and have fun. Open to students in Grades 6–12, we offer free drop-in programs, activities, and special events designed to help youth build friendships, develop new skills, and feel part of the community. From games and crafts to workshops, leadership opportunities, and themed events, the Youth Centre encourages youth to try new things, express themselves, and get involved in West Perth.
Staff, volunteers, and community partners work together to create a positive environment where youth feel valued, supported, and proud to call West Perth home. Volunteer support is provided by Youth Unlimited YFC Mitchell.
