Marrickville Youth Resource Centre

MYRC is a 22 year old generalist youth service located in Marrickville, a large culturally diverse area located in the Inner West of Sydney

We provides recreation, education, cultural and arts programs to young people between the ages of 12 – 24 going to school and living in the Marrickville LGA.

The Beanbag centre provides equipment that allows young people to do accommodation searches, RTA preparation tests, film editing, creating music, resume writing, job searching, website design, homework/research, word processing, playing games, socialising……

Three young people have become prolific editors, shooting their own footage and coming to MYRC to edit. One young woman in particular made a number of short films, was a peer educator on the 2005 MYRC kick arse project, was employed as a tutor in the Links to Learning project and taught others including MYRC staff how to use the editing program. In 2005 she completed a Certificate III in Music Performance and is currently studying a Certificate III in Screen at Eora College. More recently, she has been teaching her friends camera and editing skills.
