Youth Support Service
Youth Services can help young people (10-25 years old in the Maroondah area) with one on one support for a wide range of things, such as finding a job, family issues, getting involved in the community, issues with school, or if you're just having a hard time. If we can't help, we'll find another service who can and support you to access that service.
To connect with us for support, simply fill in the Support Request Form to help us understand what you need, or call Youth Services on 9294 5704 during office hours (Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5pm).
L2P learner driver mentor program - currently taking applications
Do you want to help a young person get their licence?
Our young people can’t achieve this significant milestone without the help from adult volunteers.
To be eligible as a mentor, you need to be over 21 years of age, hold a full driver’s licence and be willing to commit to at least one hour a week over a 12 month period.
The program is fully supported by Maroondah City Council's Youth Services team and our volunteer mentor drivers are given comprehensive training and support throughout the program and driving sessions are held in the Maroondah TAC L2P vehicle.
To register your interest in becoming a volunteer mentor driver for the L2P program, see Careers@Maroondah
Following the Victorian Government’s announcement to cease all non-essential activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Council has decided to suspend the L2P drives until further notice. However, we are still taking mentor applications while we wait to get back on the road.
