The YMCA manages Youth Services on behalf of and in partnership with the Bass Coast Shire Council.  YMCA Bass Coast Youth Services facilitates and supports recreational and leisure programs and services that encourage young people, from all backgrounds, to achieve their full potential.  We would like to encourage all young people to contact us with any ideas and suggestions to further improve this service.

YMCA Bass Coast Youth Services wants to engage with young people, aged 12 to 25, because they:

- are valued members of the community.
- are entitled to the same human rights and protections as all other members of the community.
- are entitled to respect and dignity.
- have unique and diverse gifts, knowledge, and skills.
- make valuable and significant contributions to society.
- Government policies, programs, and services are more likely to meet the needs of young people when young people are involved in decision-making processes.

There are currently two (2) part-time Youth Development Officers located within the Bass Coast Shire.  For further information please contact bcys@ymca.org.au or the following Youth Development Officers;
