What is the Bowen Youth Centre?
The Bowen Youth Centre is a sociable, all-inclusive, youth-focused space funded by Bowen Island Municipality and managed by the Municipality’s Youth Services Coordinator, Matt Neufeld.
Youth aged 12-18 are welcome to stay for an hour, the whole night or just use the place as somewhere to meet up with friends before going out. Everyone is free to come and go as they please. During drop-ins, there are always things going on such as street hockey, skate sessions, BBQs, movies, gaming, and lots of goofing around! Ultimately, you’re sure to find someone and something that fits with where you’re at.
Six50 is open every Friday and Saturday night from 6-10:30pm and all youth are welcome to hang out. We have the best pool table on Bowen Island, as well as a massive 52″ TVs, which make for great movie watching and multi-player gaming. Generally speaking, there’s a movie playing every time we’re open. There are also 2 networked PCs, allowing for music downloads, MSN, Facbook and multi-player gaming. yes”>
If you turn up and want to make something new happen, there are always friendly, fun-loving Youth Workers on hand to help spontaneously facilitate stuff and offer quality advice. And if you need to check in on a more personal or private level, you’re welcome to talk with Matt. He’s around on Friday nights.
