Youth Week 2023

Past Event


Are you ready to celebrate the biggest youth event of the year?

Youth Week runs from 14-21 April and is the biggest celebration of young people on the WA youth calendar. We are thrilled to announce that we have been selected as the launch city of this year’s WA Youth Week!

This year’s theme is ‘Becoming: with others, we dream’ and developed from discussions with the Young People’s Planning Committee and is all about coming together to make our dreams a reality.

The Minister for Youth and this year’s Youth Week Ambassadors will officially open the celebrations at the Youth Week State Launch Event and we hope you can join the celebrations.

There's something for everyone during Youth Week, with events and activities facilitated by the city, youth support services, and community organizations. And the best part? It’s all free! We can't wait to see you there.
