Organisation Summary

The Yarraville Community Centre (YCC) is a vibrant hub of learning, connection and support, welcoming over 2,000 people each week. Established in 1975, YCC has grown into a leading community-managed adult education provider in Melbourne’s west, delivering programs and services that strengthen individuals, families and neighbourhoods.

Our Vision
A connected, inclusive and resilient community where everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

Our Mission
To provide accessible education, training and community services that empower people, build skills, and foster participation in work, learning and community life.

As a Registered Training Organisation and Learn Local provider, YCC offers a wide range of accredited and non-accredited courses, alongside programs such as AMEP, SEE, and Adult Community and Further Education. Beyond education, we deliver community services including free public computer access, occasional childcare, referrals, food relief, and community-led projects.

Our facilities host support groups, events and programs that benefit the local community, with multipurpose spaces available for meetings and functions. Supported by Federal, State and Local Government, YCC remains deeply committed to equity, inclusion and child safety.

For 50 years, YCC has been at the heart of the community, providing pathways, opportunities and connections that make a difference.
