Groups For Young People
There are a range of groups for young people under 25 in Western Sydney. These groups meet every fortnight. Each meeting alternates between a social night (bowling, going to the movies, games night or going out for dinner) and a module night (sexual health, relationships, coming in/out, drugs and alcohol).
ACON's youth projects also run groups for young people throughout the year and many young people from all over Sydney and across greater western Sydney attend these groups. Click here to find out more about other groups for young people.
