- Youth Week 2025 events rolling out across Queensland.
- 16 youth-led events supported through Crisafulli Government grant program.
- Celebrating young people's leadership, creativity and contributions to their communities.
The Crisafulli Government is empowering young Queenslanders to lead and thrive with Youth Week 2025 kicking off across the state this week.
Youth Week brings together councils, community organisations and young leaders to create events that reflect the passions and voices of Queenslanders aged 12 to 25.
The annual celebration runs until Saturday, 12 April and features dozens of events created by young people for young people in communities across Queensland — from ghost hunts to live music, poetry slams to skateboarding competitions.
This year, 16 events are being delivered with the support of the Crisafulli Government's Youth Week community event grants.
Grant recipients shared in over $70,000 to bring their ideas to life, including community festivals in South Burnett and Yeppoon; Y2K-themed parties in Toowoomba; a culturally focused youth event in Logan; and a sports competition in Yarrabah.
Youth Week 2025 will wrap up with the launch of the 30th YMCA Queensland Youth Parliament at Parliament House on Saturday.
Entries are also now open for the Youth Week digital art competition - which showcases the creativity of young Queenslanders - with the top artwork to feature in Youth Week 2026 promotions.
Minister for Youth Sam O'Connor encouraged Queenslanders to get involved in Youth Week and celebrate the contributions and achievements of young people.
"Nearly one in five Queenslanders is aged 12 to 25 and these young people are already shaping our state's future," Minister O'Connor said.
"Youth Week is a platform for young people to lead, connect and be celebrated for the ideas and energy they bring to their communities.
"We're proud to be backing young people through our Young Queenslanders Strategy and creating meaningful change in the areas they told us matter most."
