A colourful selection of events for young people

25 Feb, 2020

From a free colour run with an inflatable obstacle course, to an evening of learning life skills and an action-packed day of adventure, the Wodonga Youth Services Team have a great line-up for young people.

Starting with the How 2 Days event on February 26, young people are invited to an evening of workshops designed to provide them with an opportunity to develop life skills through interactive and hands-on activities.

Aimed at 16 to 24 year olds, young people will learn How 2:

  • Manage your Finances Effectively (interest, tax, superannuation, investments) - hosted by Johnsons MME
  • Build an Online Brand – hosted by Ben Warhurst (Bens Food Diary, Border Food Forum)
  • Make Coffee and Easy Meals - hosted by Albury Wodonga Community College
  • Foster Innovative Ideas – hosted by Wodonga Innovation Hub
  • Create Lasting First Impressions - hosted by Personnel Group

The free event will run from 5pm to 8pm at 104 Hovell St, Wodonga. Get your ticket here https://wod.city/How2DaysFeb20

The next exciting event run by our youth team will be our free all-ages Colour Run Inflatable Obstacle Course at this year's Messy Arty Party on Saturday, March 7.

The course is a unique event combining the fun of colour-powdered runs, the challenge of an inflatable obstacle course and the atmosphere of a music festival.

Also have fun taking part in water bomb volleyball.

The event is part of the Upsteam Festival, a Two Cities One Community initiative, hosted by Wodonga Council and AlburyCity.

Meanwhile, if you are aged between 9 and 16 years old make sure to secure your spot at All Aboard.

The April 7 event promises a full day of activity that challenges young people to engage with their peers, experience new things and make new connections.

The first venue participants will visit is Supaworld Wodonga with the remaining three activities to be revealed on the Wodonga Youth Facebook page leading up to the event.

There are limited spots available. To secure your spot, complete the consent form and return to the cube box office in person or email youth@wodonga.vic.gov.au along with payment before 4pm on Tuesday, March 30, 2020.

The popular Street Jam event is also back for 2020.

The twilight youth festival is a Two Cities One Community initiative that is developed and facilitated by young people for young people in Albury and Wodonga.

Aimed at 15 to 20 year olds, Street Jam on March 20 brings together sport and recreation, arts and culture, food, music and community to celebrate and reflect the diversity of our young people.

The event will centre around a 3-on-3 basketball competition where young people will form teams.
