Middle Years and Youth Services

An opportunity for secondary school-aged people to meet one another, developing leadership, communications, enterprise and advocacy skills. We encourage you to have a voice and address issues you feel passionate about.

An innovative art program focused on mural, community-based and artistic projects, such as our Traffic Signal Box program. We run mural projects with local artists and then welcome you to paint your work throughout Stonnington. Our programs focus on skills and social and personal connections. Art programs include radio, photography, fashion design and visual art.

This group of young people aged 12 to 15 run music and cultural events in and around Stonnington. Learn production skills, including artist booking, stage management, finance and budgeting, sound engineering, promotion and events.

In-school and community-based programs to empower young people, build connections and develop leadership and employment skills.

We offer in-school and onsite programs to develop your skills. We work with organisations to provide workshops and courses such as first aid and coffee-making. We also strive to allow you to gain certified skills.

After-school social and recreational events for young people aged 12 to 25. Join our video game club, showcase skills on the soccer field, and engage in activities designed to connect and empower.

Our workshops allow you to express yourself, develop skills and create art that celebrates youth culture and identity. Programs include podcasting, photography, dance and visual arts.

This therapeutic program teaches young people in secondary schools skills in regulation, teamwork and mindfulness. The program concludes with a student-led performance that celebrates their work and achievements.

Transitioning from primary to secondary school may be challenging for young people and parents. This program supports them to be equipped for the transition from Year 6 through to Year 7.

SFYS is a Department of Education-funded service that works with Glen Eira, Stonnington and Port Phillip councils. It supports primary and secondary school settings from Year 5 to Year 12. There is a strong focus on student engagement in education and health and wellbeing. SFYS can assist Government, Catholic and Independent schools.

This fund provides small grants for children and young people to access goods and services for school. This enables them to engage successfully in education. MYYS administers the fund on behalf of the Stonnington West Emergency Relief Network Inc.

This group brings service providers and community agencies together to collaborate, network, share information and undertake professional development. The network meets quarterly.

This annual event gives educators a range of professional development opportunities. Educators can connect with local and non-government agencies, gaining a greater knowledge on the needs of our school community. School Focused Youth Services hosts the event, which invites all primary and secondary schools in the Glen Eira, Stonnington and Port Phillip local government areas.

Held at the Child and Wellbeing Community Wellbeing Hub, this monthly network event is for service providers, schools and agencies working with children and young people.
