NSW Youth Week is all about young people coming together and being part of their local communities. It is a chance to celebrate young people’s ideas, creativity and the positive things they bring.
Every April, councils, youth services and schools team up with young people to put on free events and activities. Youth Week is for ages 12 to 24 and is a chance to meet new people, try new things, share your ideas and have fun.
Youth Week also recognises the important role young people play in shaping their communities now and into the future.
