Room 13 Youth Centre (Okehampton)
Welcome to Room 13 Youth Centre (Okehampton)
Small but perfectly formed, Room 13 is a great place for young people aged 11-19 from Okehampton and surrounding villages to meet up and let loose… We’ve got music, pool, cookery and there are always plenty of activities on the go… There is even the odd BBQ in our garden! You might just be looking for advice or support around sexual health & relationships, moving into employment or education and training – all of which you can chat with our friendly youth workers about – we’re here!
Our youth hub also offers a number of targeted provisions to provide additional support to those who need it. Ultimately, we aim to provide young people with opportunities that make constructive use of their leisure time, raise aspirations and encourage a positive, independent lifestyle. Our sessions are FREE – so why not come and visit? You can check out our timetable to find a session that suits you!

Ryan
Youth Support Worker
I have been working as a Youth Worker for 1.5 years.
First got into youth work by volunteering with Room 13. I really enjoy the tempo of working with young people and you sometimes know that any given sessions might not be the same.

I love working in outdoor settings with young people such as on the DofE expeditions but I also like using my interests in art and music with young people at Room 13.
