Youth Week is back for 2025, and we're celebrating from 9 – 17 April with a range of fun events and opportunities for young people aged 12 - 24 to come together in the community. This year’s theme, 'I am____. We are the future and the future is now!' celebrates every young person’s unique strengths. The theme also recognises the individual and collective power that young people possess as the future influencers, leaders and decision makers.
As one of their first orders of business, the newly-elected Tamworth Regional Youth Councillors worked together to plan a mix of engaging and exciting activities for local young people to celebrate Youth Week 2025.
The Youth Councillors will be holding six events throughout the week - Tamworth’s Got Talent: Creative Arts Comp & Disco, Skate & Novelty Sports Competition, Stand-Up Comedy Workshop with renowned Australian comedian, Anthony Lamond, We Are The Future, And The Future Is Now: Public Speaking & Creative Expression Competition and a Youth Week Trivia Night. The events will be held over a number of days, with some happening during the day and others at night to try and include as many young people as possible.
We will be providing free bus transport for young people wishing to attend each of the events, with pick up points located in Barraba, Manilla, Attunga and The Youthie. Bookings for the bus are essential, so please jump online early to secure your spot.
