In 2015, Macarthur Youth Services Network (MYSN) asked
young people in the Campbelltown, Camden and Wollondilly
areas what they like to do for affordable fun, with the goal of
creating a resource for young people, services providers
and the broader community.
The result is ‘30 things for young people to do in Macarthur
under $15’, a free resource that looks at affordable
entertainment and leisure activities across the Macarthur
region. From bushwalking and shopping to adventure and
recreation, this resource highlights the top 30 activities
that young people voted for.
MYSN is a local network that provides the opportunity for
youth services to connect, exchange information, ideas,
work collaboratively on projects and identify issues of
concern for young people from Campbelltown, Camden and
Wollondilly local government areas. Membership is open for all
government, non-government and not for profit organisations
that work with young people aged 12 to 25 years
across the Macarthur region.
For more information or to join the network, contact
Sector Connect on 4648 5933.
