Twelve25 Salisbury Youth Enterprise Centre is the heart of delivery of youth services from Council, however staff of the centre retain a citywide role, often running events and programs at other sites across the council area.
Twelve25's programs aim to work with young people aged 12 to 25 who live, work, study or volunteer within the City of Salisbury.
The youth centre building is often buzzing with action on weekdays with spaces including the institute hall, training / meeting rooms, the computer suite with 12 PCs, kitchen, a consulting room and serviced office space. PBA-FM 89.7 Community Radio is also co-located at the site.
As part of the program enrolment all participants within Twelve25's programs become members of the centre. This is a free process but requires guardian / parental consent. Twelve25's new computer suite requires a Library/membership card to access.
