Queensland Youth Week 2024
Queensland Youth Week (QYW) celebrates and recognises the talents, achievements, and contributions of young people to their community, our state, and the world around them.
In 2024 QYW is running across 7-13 April.
QYW is delivered in partnership with local government and youth sector organisations, with events across the state spanning music and art festivals, sports competitions, forums, workshops, and more. Activities are designed to encourage young people to explore their interests, develop their talents, and connect with their communities in meaningful ways.
If you’re a Queenslander aged 12-25, check out what is happening in your area and come along to an event all about celebrating YOU!
