This year's theme is 'Dream. Dare. Do', empowering youth to courageously pursue their goals through courage and creativity.
"Youth Week is a chance for us to celebrate the young people in our community and across the Macarthur region, by bringing them together and providing great opportunities to connect with their peers across Campbelltown," Mayor Darcy Lound said.
"I'm thrilled to see the strong variety of events on offer this year, and I strongly encourage our young people to get involved in these great opportunities, build lasting connections and use these events to kickstart their own goals," Cr Lound said.
The NSW Youth Week program is proudly supported by the NSW Government and includes six grant-funded community events including:
- Youth Open Day with The Collective Initiative
- Youth Week Kick Off with Headspace and Traxide Campbelltown
- Youth Amplified Podcast Workshop with Rainbow Crossing
- Spoken Pain Poetry and Expression Workshop with Talk2MeBro
- Get Informed, Feel Empowered Health Day with Youth Solutions
- Next Gen Youth Markets with The Sedgewick Avenue
Locals are encouraged to support Youth Homelessness Matters Day on Wednesday 15 April by purchasing a ticket to the Big Campbelltown Sleepout at Campbelltown Billabong Parklands in support of youth facing homelessness in the Macarthur region.
From 6pm, participants will be able to enjoy a variety of activities at the fundraising event, before taking part in an overnight sleepout.
The NSW Government proudly supports this community-led partnership with funding provided under the Youth Week Grants Program.
