The countdown for Youth Week WA 2024 begins!
Youth Week WA takes place from 5 to 12 April and is the largest annual celebration of young people in Western Australia.
This annual event, overseen by the Department of Communities, provides young people in Western Australia with the opportunity to express their ideas, raise important issues, explore creative endeavours and celebrate young people’s contribution to their local community and to the State.
This year’s theme – Head, Body, Heart – acknowledges the resilience of young people and their holistic approach to wellbeing and was developed by the Young People’s Planning Committee who support the planning and delivery of Youth Week WA.
