Whittlesea Community Connections supports young people to connect belong and thrive, through Childsafe leadership, sport, education, wellbeing, driving and community based programs.
Whittlesea Community Connections creates safe, inclusive opportunities for young people to build confidence and skills, make connections, raise their voices and access the supports they need.
If you’re a young person looking to get active, learn something new, meet people, gain independence or make a difference in your community, we are here to support you.
We embrace and welcome individuals from all backgrounds, promoting inclusivity and celebrating diversity within our community. The WCC Children and Young People Position Statement can be found here:
