Senior Youth Club

North Yorkshire County Council and Boroughbridge Community Education invite all young people to join their ever-expanding Youth Centre.
 

Why not take the opportunity to participate in events such as outdoor pursuits, for example; abseiling, rock climbing, archery, canoeing and kayaking, plus 5 a side football tournaments using the facilities at Boroughbridge leisure centre, ice skating trips to Billingham Forum or skate park outings?
 
All of our activities enable young people to work together and enjoy themselves whilst under the supervision of experts and in a fun setting!
 
Other activities on offer in the youth centre include: DJ workshops, banner painting, nail art and beauty nights and so much more! but for those who prefer not to take part in these activities they can still enjoy the facilities in the club such as pool, pinball, table football, games consoles, TV room, music and dance or just a chance to meet with friends and relax.
