Queensland Youth Week (QYW) 6-12 April 2025 is an annual celebration that shines a spotlight on the talents, achievements, and contributions of young people to their communities, our state, and beyond.
Neighbourhood Centres are places where young people are welcomed, heard, and supported. Whether it’s through volunteering, creative expression, or simply having a safe space to hang out, young people are a valued part of Neighbourhood Centres, bringing the energy and ideas that help build more connected, inclusive communities.
Neighbourhood Centres across Queensland are celebrating with the young people in their communities in all kinds of creative and meaningful ways.
