Welcome To The Mish
The Mish is City Mission’s dedicated hub for youth and young adult services, designed to support young people aged 12-25 who may feel disconnected from peers, family, or school, and those disengaged from education or employment. Through personalised mentoring and unique learning experiences, we help young people build confidence, gain essential skills, and work toward a healthier, more stable future.
Located at The Ark, 9 Killafaddy Road, St Leonards, The Mish offers a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space where everyone is valued. Support is available all year round through mentoring, while our structured programs operate during school terms and are complemented by holiday programs.
Stay connected with us by reaching out to The Mish team or following us on social media for the latest updates.
