Youngtown Learning Site concludes with community celebration
The Launceston suburb of Youngtown was celebrated today as the City of Launceston’s ABCDE Learning Site prepares to shift focus to Kings Meadows.
Now in its fifth year, the Council’s ABCDE Learning Site initiative aims to support local communities to reach their potential.
The program has previously spent 12 months each in the suburbs of Rocherlea, Ravenswood, Mowbray and, most recently, Youngtown.
The Council today officially celebrated the conclusion of the Youngtown Learning Site program at the South Launceston Football Club, with more than 50 Youngtown residents in attendance.
The Youngtown Learning Site resulted in a range of community projects, including a short film by local students called ‘Dear Youngtown’, historical research into South Launceston Football Club memorabilia, new women’s workshops, new signage at Franklin Village, the establishment of a Launceston Tool Library, and more.
