OUR SPACE

One of our goals is to increase youths’ awareness and understanding of important issues affecting them. Therefore, we have designed a community space dedicated to youths, NGOs and other civil society groups to organise events that support and enhance our mission.

Our space is ideal for meetings, workshops, film screenings, photo shoot, book readings and other open events. It can fit 40 people comfortably, but can host up to about 100 people. It is strategically situated between the city of Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya and only a stone’s throw away from the Kerinchi LRT station.

Some of the common amenities and security features of the space include:

• Fully air-conditioned
• Two washrooms
• A pantry area with a refrigerator, water dispenser, mugs and glasses
• A library
• Wifi service
• Flip chart stands
• Projector screen
• Multiple electric sockets
• CCTV
• Fire extinguishers
• First aid kit

As a non-profit organisation, we sustain the cost of running the space through contributions from our users. As such, please refer to our contribution rate before proceeding to book our space.
