Youth Week in 2011 has proven to be another exciting year! It began as a NSW government initiative in 1988, and has since grown to be a celebration of young people in every state and territory across the country.
Youth Week is the only young people-organised and managed mass participation event in Australia. It is organised by local young people, for local young people, in communities across the state. Young people also make up the state-wide planning group.
Hundreds of events where held across NSW throughout Youth Week celebrating the positive contributions young people make to our society and providing opportunities for young people to organise their own events. So go to the Events page to find out about what events happened in your local area!
