In 1999, Council formed a partnership with Wesley/Dalmar Youth Services, in order to address the needs of local young people. Since 1999 Council has contributed funds towards the employment of 2 Youth Workers to work specifically work within the Ashfield Municipality. The Youth Outreach Workers (both male and female) always wear an identifiable blue shirts with the logo "Street Outreach". The workers have an arrangement with local high schools to be available on various days for students during lunch breaks. The Youth Workers try to be available at local spaces and areas that young people are likely to access. Therefore they can often be seen at Ashfield train station, the mall, pool hall and the Skate Park at Summer Hill. The workers also have a mini-van, where they are able to assist young people getting to various appointments as well as providing information and often informal sporting games at Darrell Jackson Gardens, Summer Hill.
For assistance or further information about this program please call the Youth Outreach Workers on 9799 2785.
