National Youth Week
2008 National Youth Week will run from 5 to 13 April 2008.
National Youth Week is an annual, week-long celebration of young people throughout Australia.
National Youth Week offers a great opportunity for Victorians to join the rest of Australia in recognising and celebrating the diverse skills, knowledge and ideas that young people contribute to our society. It is also a perfect time for young people to showcase their talents or highlight an issue in their region that is important to them.
All events and activities held during National Youth Week are planned and developed by young people, for young people.
In Victoria, National Youth Week is a tripartite initiative supported through the Victorian Government, VicHealth and the Federal Government. Young people and their communities can get involved in the celebrations by running events and attending activities in their local area.
At the national level, each State and Territory is represented by a National Youth Week ‘young member’. These nine young people play a vital role in directing the shape and success of National Youth Week. They are involved in all aspects of planning, developing, implementing and promoting National Youth Week across Australia.
2008 Victorian Government National Youth Week grants announcement and recipients are in the Get Involved section.
