A Short History of ENET
ENET is a not-for-profit organisation that began in 1975 as one of the first CYSS (Community Youth Support Service) schemes in Australia, designed to help unemployed and disadvantaged youth. It was located at 33a Taylor St, Moonee Ponds. Since then ENET has grown into a larger training organisation, still with close links to the community. In 2001, ENET moved to its current location at 41 Hall St, Moonee Ponds.
