Queensland Youth Week 2025

Running 6–12 April, Queensland Youth Week (QYW) is a statewide celebration of the talents, achievements, and contributions of young Queenslanders aged 12–25 to their communities, our state, and beyond.

It’s a time to:

  • Recognise, amplify, and celebrate the positive impacts young people have on their communities.
  • Support youth-led initiatives that create positive change.
  • Connect with young people in your community through exciting events and activities.
