The program began in London's north three years ago, helping disabled kids as well as those who had had trouble with the police.
Colleen Marion, who runs Melbourne's Western Suburbs Indigenous Gathering Place, says The Shed is a welcome alternative to the area's many sports programs.
Warren Wills has also worked with the Angels Voices Band, a group of African performers based in Victoria's north.
Actress Pamela Anderson is now an ambassador to the growing program, and she participated in today's launch via Skype.
The Shed will be launched progressively throughout Australia.
