Innovation Youth Centre is proud to announce its first student youth worker placement as in the start of 2018. Victoria University Bachelor of Youth Work student Maria Matthews will be working alongside the youth worker team of IYC during her final year of her undergrad. Maria was initially a member of the IYC Youth Reference Group and had been supported by Paul Papadatos in entering her studies. Her transition to being a youth worker in her placement will pioneer future student placements in youth work, social work, and community work with IYC. We look forward to what her energy and enthusiasm can bring to this new role and to the organisation.

SERVICE MESSAGE - IYC Young People, Families, Staff, Volunteers, Board, Student Placements and Community would like to give a big warm thank you to all who support IYC, not close the centre doors. It's with a heavy heart that IYC informs you that IYC closed its centre doors on March 1st 2024 at the location in Bundoora due to not being refunded by the government, IYC acknowledges and is grateful for the Federal Government grant to grow IYC with the centre in 2022. IYC campaigned to all tiers of government, did a fundraiser with events, went to media, had a petition, tried auspices and unfortunately could not raise enough funds to keep the centre operational. IYC will not close as a charity/service organisation and reflect to provide NDIS services, consulting work, information and referral, and program work that will be done on a smaller scale until IYC grows again and can do more and run a centre again. As the motto goes at IYC
"Believe and Create"
