The Department of Communities is responsible for the overall coordination and promotion of Youth Week WA across a variety of events. To recognise and celebrate young people aged 10 to 25 years we:

• deliver an annual grants program for Youth Week WA projects and activities;
• appoint four Youth Week WA Ambassadors (Ambassadors) to represent young people across the State
• deliver campaigns that celebrate the contributions that young people make in Western Australian communities.

What is Youth Week WA?

The State Government recognises the enormous contribution that young people make to the social, cultural and economic life in Western Australia. Youth Week WA is an opportunity to recognise these valued contributions and provide opportunities for young people to connect across the State.

Youth Week WA aims to:

• provide young people with opportunities to express ideas, discuss important community issues, co-design local events and showcase their talents and contributions
• give the wider community an opportunity to listen to young people and celebrate their positive contributions
