Non-for-profit charity Boys to the Bush will set up shop in Leeton to help provide intervention and support for disengaged boys and young men.

The charity received $500,000 from the NSW Office for Regional Youth to open two hubs in Leeton and Young respectively to offer services and support disengaged and vulnerable male youths.

"The new hubs have the potential to make a positive impact on close to 7000 young people between the ages of nine and 22," NSW regional youth minister Ben Franklin said.

"They will also provide a social outlet for young men in the area, and will also help to support our local economy by creating jobs for caring locals."

Boys to the Bush CEO and co-founder Adam DeMamiel agreed the hub would provide support services as well as news jobs.

"We are looking forward to providing a platform for locals to be actively involved and to create better outcomes for both the kids and the community," Mr DeMamiel said.

"We recognise there is a need for their services in Young and Leeton, and I'm delighted to help deliver these vital services to support a brighter future for young people," Ms Cooke said.

"The charity currently runs programs in Forbes, Parkes, Albury and Bathurst and are well regarded in these communities, having made an impact on over 2000 young people through camps, schools and First Nations cultural programs.
