Jacquie Petrusma,Minister for Disability Services and Community Development
Young Tasmanians play a vitally important role in our community, which is why we all need to celebrate the life and contributions of young people in Tasmania and their many talents and skills.
The Hodgman Liberal Government is a proud supporter of Youth Week, running from April 10 to 17, and has provided grants through the Youth Week Tasmania 2019 Grants Program to encourage young Tasmanians to deliver events and activities that celebrate our youth during this significant week.
The Youth Network of Tasmania have done a fantastic job in organising Youth Week Tasmania 2019, and the Government's grants program this year is supporting 13 different youth-focussed events across Tasmania that celebrate our young people's successes and the contributions that they make to the wider community, education and the workforce.
I encourage all young people in Tasmania to take advantage of many of the exciting events taking place across the state during Youth Week Tasmania 2019.
