Youth Week
Dream. Dare. Do.
Thursday 16-Sunday 26 April 2026
Youth Week is a week-long celebration organised by young people, for young people, held in communities across the NSW.
This year Youth Week is back louder, bolder and more exciting than ever, celebrating more than 65,000 young people aged 12-24 who call Canterbury-Bankstown home.
We work with youth organisations, schools and young people to host free events, activities and competitions that help our youth to connect with each other, express themselves and get involved in their local community.
Celebrate Youth Week by:
- attending live events
- showcasing your talents
- taking part in competitions
- using your voice to advocate for what young people need in your community
- and most importantly – having fun!
