Mission
Midjuburi Youth Resource Centre - Empowering Youth to Realise their Full Potential
MYRC is an accessible, culturally safe and welcoming place where all young people can:
explore what they want, develop connections with others and realise their full potential.
MYRC offers young people a platform to have their voices heard, to tell us what they want and trust that they will be listened to. Our programs, services, partnerships and amenities provide young people with opportunities to invest in their future and make a positive contribution to their community.
