Wagga Wagga City Council is proud to announce the Youth Week 2025 program that will be celebrated across the month of April and organised with young people, for young people aged 12 to 25 years.
This year’s program has been led by Council’s Youth Week Crew, a group of local young people who have volunteered to lead the delivery of this year’s Youth Week celebrations. They have worked alongside Council’s Youth and Community Development Officer to develop a packed program for everyone to enjoy.
Whether you want to bedazzle your favourite book at the Wagga Wagga City Library after hours, test your gaming and teamwork skills at Game ON!, level up by learning how to be an independent YOUng person or empower yourself as a young femme in today’s world – the choice is yours!
Council’s Youth and Community Development Officer Mel Fattore said this annual program is bigger and better than ever.
“Not only does Youth Week directly represent our local young people and their interests, but it is a way for local young people to lead this program,” Ms Fattore said.
“The 2025 Youth Week Crew have advocated for local young people to have access to an abundance of low-cost certificate-based learning opportunities, enjoy indoor and outdoor social events to meet and connect with others, and have fun.
“In 2025, with the help of our Youth Week Crew, we really wanted to collaborate with local youth-focused services to create events, workshops and upskilling opportunities that are current with the needs of young people and respond to youth interests.”
Practical workshops are being provided by community partners Riverina Community College, Murrumbidgee Local Health District, Liquid Gold, Wagga Wagga First Aid Training, Headspace Wagga Wagga, Argyle Housing, HOMES NSW and Anglicare Financial Counselling. These workshops will help local young people move through life as more informed and resourceful individuals.
Ms Fattore also said access and safety for all attendees is a key focus with quiet rooms and sensitive sound levels considered so everyone can enjoy the fun. Venues have also been selected for their accessible parking, wheelchair accessible bathrooms and functionality.
"Our friendly 2025 Youth Week Crew will be attending a range of Youth Week 2025 events and will ensure all young people feel welcome and included.” Ms Fattore said.
“Check out this year’s Youth Week program and be sure to join in the fun. This is an awesome opportunity to see what young people in our community have done and can do!”
