SOCIAL ENTERPRISE

Welcome to The Neighbourhood!

Transforming Youth Opportunities in Our Community

Gnarly Neighbours is more than just a social enterprise; it’s a bold vision brought to life by founder Jayden Sheridan. Motivated to build a better future for his son and the youth of Seymour, Jayden created The Neighbourhood—a vibrant hub that combines a skate shop, coffee shop, and garment print studio, all dedicated to supporting young people and reshaping our town.

Our Mission:

• All Profits for a Cause
  Every dollar spent at The Neighbourhood directly funds Gnarly Neighbours, our registered youth charity offering free programs every day of the week.

• Free, Daily Youth Programs
  From skateboarding and creative workshops to wellbeing and mentoring sessions, we provide inclusive, no-cost programs that build skills, confidence, and community.

• The Positive Neighbourhood Employment Pathway
  Each year, 58 young people gain hands-on experience and paid employment through our Positive Neighbourhood Employment Program. Starting as volunteers, they progress into real jobs across our café, print studio, skate shop, and events—learning transferable skills in hospitality, retail, design, coaching, and leadership.

Unique Features:

• Indoor Skatepark
  Housed in our shop, it’s where we run our free skate programs, school workshops, and community events.

• Gnarly Print Co
  Our on-site print shop powers merchandise for our cause and offers high-quality, custom garment printing for businesses, events, and local creatives.

Events and Outreach:

• Community Events
  From yard sale markets to pop-up fundraisers, our events bring people together and raise funds for youth initiatives.

• Creative & Skills-Based Workshops
  Designed by and for young people, our workshops explore everything from art and apparel to branding, 3D printing, and entrepreneurship.
