25.01.2022 Official launch for HARVEY YOUTH SPACE page and logo.

25.01.2022 Check out what's happening at the Harvey Youth Space Monday 18 Jan.

23.01.2022 We are very happy with the response from youth in Harvey and surrounding areas with over 80 young people signed in as participants. We average 10 to 15 each 2 hour session and expect that to increase during this school year. The sad news however is our lease after October will amount to $30,000. This is not sustainable as funding for this project is by a community group. We are inviting community to present some ideas and hopefully solutions that allow the Space to operate after October 2021. We'd love to hear from you.

23.01.2022 We are having our first meeting for 2021 on Thursday, 4pm at the Harvey Youth Space. We would like to invite interested community members to meet the team and have a look at what we do.

22.01.2022 We are proud to announce ongoing support by Western Australia Police Force Communities Crime Prevention Fund, providing funding for projects designed to create a safe and informed environment for young people in the Harvey region and sustainability for the Harvey Youth Space project. By liking this page and that of the Harvey Youth Space you can follow progress and keep informed about events, workshops and volunteer opportunities.

22.01.2022 At last we have dates locked in for our FREE Leadership and Governance training available to youth aged 12 to 25 who are keen to be involved with the Harvey Youth Space and youth issues within the Shire of Harvey. Session 1: Saturday 15 August - 10am to 4pm Session 2: Saturday 22 August - 10am to 4pm Venue: Harvey Community Resource Centre

21.01.2022 The HARVEY YOUTH SPACE will become an incorporated organisation which means we are looking for interested volunteers to be part of the management committee/board. We'll be seeking expressions of interest for executive positions and general positions. We'll be particularly interested to hear from anyone with experience working with youth. Please PM for more information.

21.01.2022 Just letting everyone know the HARVEY YOUTH SPACE now has its own email address: [email protected]

21.01.2022 I know you are keen to know if the Youth Space is attracting our youth as planned. Well here are some stats after two weeks of trial opening hours: 47 young people have filled out forms and signed behaviour contracts to be part of the Space. Average participation at any one time is between 11 and 12 per two hour sessions.

20.01.2022 Congratulations to the HARVEY LOCAL DRUG ACTION GROUP Team for their dedication to community, acknowledged today at the Australia Day Ceremony with a Citizenship Award. Thank you to Local Drug Action Groups Inc. for awesome support that allows our volunteers to continue implementing processes for alcohol and other drugs harm reduction projects, including providing a safe space for youth (Harvey Youth Space).

20.01.2022 The new HARVEY YOUTH SPACE needs a logo and we are asking our young people to design something for us. The logo competition is open to Harvey students.

19.01.2022 The Harvey Youth Space, Lot 208 and Shire of Harvey are working together to offer 15 young people an opportunity to go to Adventure World on Thursday 21 January. A bus will leave Harvey Youth Space at 7am and Brunswick Junction Community Resource Centre at 7:20, arriving at Australind for departure by 8am. Yarloop, Binningup and Myalup residents will need to find own transport to Harvey. Harvey Youth Space participants will receive a $20 concession toward entry costs. Everyone should bring either own lunch and drinks or money to purchase.

13.01.2022 Check out this initiative by Bunbury Districts Local Drug Action Group Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a diagnostic term used to describe impacts on the brain and body of individuals prenatally exposed to alcohol. FASD is a lifelong disability. Individuals with FASD will experience some degree of challenges in their daily living, and need support with motor skills, physical health, learning, memory, attention, communication, emotional regulation, and social skills ...to reach their full potential. Each individual with FASD is unique and has areas of both strengths and challenges.FASD is a condition that is an outcome of parents either not being aware of the dangers of alcohol use when pregnant or planning a pregnancy, or not being supported to stay healthy and strong during pregnancy. Alcohol can cause damage to the unborn child at any time during pregnancy, even before a pregnancy has been confirmed. See more

02.01.2022 What an amazing day we had with seven fantastic young people from the Shire of Harvey. The Leadership Workshop was a hit and Next week's Governance Workshop should be just as good. I will post photos when I have all the permissions.

02.01.2022 Hi all, Harvey Youth Group have a GoFundMe set up to buy Christmas gifts for elderly residents who have no visitors at Christmas. ALL donations will go towards buying these gifts, as part of a Harvey Youth Space and Harvey Local Drug Action Group initiative

02.01.2022 FREE Youth Leadership Workshop on Saturday. This is a great opportunity for young people 12 to 25 years to develop and or improve confidence and communication skills. They may even decide to become part of the Youth Leadership Team representing young people in the Shire of Harvey. We need representatives from all areas within the shire. You get to also have a look at the progress for Harvey's new Youth Space. 7 Hayward St - Harvey. It's time to give our youth a real voice.

01.01.2022 We had another great time at the Harvey Youth Space on Friday night. Youth attending were having lots of fun and volunteers enjoyed working on a jigsaw. Thank you to Fiona and Elizabeth for staying the full five hours. You are awesome. Thank you David Swain (our local police person on duty for the night) for dropping in and having a chat. Next time he says he'd like to challenge some of our youth to a game of pool. He'd better polish up his skills because he and his buddies have some pretty tough competition.

01.01.2022 HARVEY YOUTH SPACE will be open today from 3pm to 8pm. Cheesy spaghetti is on offer for a light meal if required. SPECIAL NOTE: The Space WILL NOT be open on Saturday evening however will open instead at 10am until 2pm (volunteers unavailable).
