Youth Hub Devon celebration event
Youth Hub Devon is inviting young people to join a special double celebration event next week (Thursday 29 June).
Since opening the service in 2021, 500 young people have been referred to the Youth Hub for a range of support including career advice, help with CV writing, interview skills, and signposting to other relevant services. Of those, over 200 have been helped to find their way to education, employment, and training.
To mark that achievement and to celebrate moving into new premises at Exeter Library, Youth Hub Devon is holding a celebration event on Thursday 29 June.
If you are a young person who has been supported by Youth Hub Devon, or you’re aged 16 – 24 and want to find out more about what the Youth Hub does, come along between 1pm and 3pm.
The event will include:
• Pizza and drinks available from 1pm (first come first served) in the Youth Hub and surrounding area at Exeter Library.
• Key influencers and young people sharing their stories.
• Youth Hub staff available to provide information about what they do.
• Music and engaging conversation!
• Gaming and other activities.
Councillor Rufus Gilbert, Devon County Council Cabinet Member for Economic Recovery and Skills, said: “Youth Hub Devon has had tremendous success in supporting hundreds of young people on their career paths, whether it's through helping them into employment, training or education. It’s an incredible achievement to have helped over 200 young people so far and the relocation to Exeter Library is an opportunity to grow the Youth Hub even further. I would encourage as many people as possible to join the celebration event – it's a chance for young people to find out what support is available and meet others who have already benefited from the service.”
Anastasia, from Exeter, has received several job offers in the hospitality sector after attending the Youth Hub. She said: "I found Youth Hub a very good place where I can turn to for help. They’ve helped me a lot in finding a job, CVs, apprenticeships and to deal with my thinking. Each of our meetings is very productive and informative. In general, this is a nice place for people in need of help."
