Ararat's Youth Hub

CGLLEN wants to empower young people by building a Youth Hub. The youth hub will be used a safe space for socializing, education, training, or hosting events for young people. Donate to this cause here.

SWL

Structured Workplace Learning is a program for VET and VCAL students who are looking for relevant, hands-on work experience in their local industry. Students are also able to make important connections with employers.

L2P

L2P is a free program for young L-platers who don’t have a car or supervising driver. Together with a mentor, young people are able to rack up the required 120 hours of supervised driving and prepare for their final driving tests.

Youth Space

Youth Space is a page dedicated to effective resources and programs for young people. Learn more about employment, well being, studying, down time, and CGLLEN’s youth programs and alternative education.

About Us

We engage, innovate, and inspire through our very own educational
and fun programs for young people in our local communities.

Our History

For years Central Grampians LLEN has been dedicated to creating a safe space for youth to access resources for further learning or practical community involvement.

Our Achievements

We have created and implemented dozens of programs and activities to keep young people engaged in our local communities. Our staff works hard for and with young people.

Our Vision

We want to create a positive youth culture in our communities, in which young people are engaged with education or training. We aim to provide transitional support for early school leavers and to enhance local job pathways for young people which provide a Year 12 equivalent qualification.
