About YStreetball
YStreetball started in March 2017, founded by YMCA volunteers Dave and Pete.
The program was created to support adults experiencing homelessness or disadvantage.
After the games, participants can:
- have a shower;
- relax and connect with others;
- meet new people in a safe, welcoming space.
YStreetball was developed in partnership with YMCA Victoria and the City of Melbourne, and is proudly based at North Melbourne Community Centre.
Today, YStreetball is a strong, welcoming community program where everyone belongs.
