NSW Youth Week information for councils

The 12-member NSW Youth Advisory Council decide the theme for NSW Youth Week 2025.

This year, the youth week theme is about:

• celebrating every young person’s unique strengths
• recognising young people’s individual and collective power as our current and future influencers, leaders and decision makers. 

Young people are invited to celebrate the theme by sharing who they are, their skills, qualities, something about themselves they are proud of, or something they are passionate about advocating for.

Councils can:

• Actively reach out to the community to see what non-government organisations are doing in your local area,
• Provide a way for these organisations to register interest to partner with you
• Run a competition for young people in your local community to submit ideas for future Youth Week events and activities.
