Local governments, organisations, and community groups planning to host events during Youth Week WA 2027 can now apply for a share of $142,000 in funding through the Cook Labor Government.
Through the Youth Week WA Grants Program, grants of between $1,500 and $3,000 are available for small-scale events and grants of up to $10,000 are available for medium-scale, community-wide events.
For the first time, a single grant of $20,000 is available for one local government, organisation, or community group to deliver the Youth Week Closing Event in the Perth metropolitan area.
Successful organisations will use the funding to host free community events during Youth Week WA in April 2027 that empower young people to share their ideas, celebrate their talents, and connect with their peers.
Youth Week WA is the largest annual celebration of young people in the State and shines a light on the positive contributions that young people aged 10-25 make in their communities every day.
Applications for the Youth Week WA Grants Program are now open and close at 3 pm on Tuesday, 18 August.
