Meet our team

The Maribyrnong Youth Services team is based at Phoenix Youth Hub and supports the diverse needs of young people aged 12 to 25 who live, work, study, or play in the City of Maribyrnong.

Guided by a community development approach, the team works collaboratively across sectors to enhance young people’s health, wellbeing, participation, and sense of belonging.

Our service model integrates direct program delivery, capacity building, and strategic partnerships through:
