Grants available to fund Youth Week WA 2024 activities

• Applications now open for the Youth Week WA 2024 grants program
• $80,000 in grants available for Youth Week WA projects and activities
• Youth Week WA 2024 will run from 5 to 12 April

Community organisations and local governments across Western Australia are invited to apply for funding between $1,500 to $3,000 to stage events during next year's Youth Week celebrations.

Youth Week WA is an annual State-wide celebration that marks the positive contributions of young people in the community.

It is an opportunity for young Western Australians to express their ideas, raise important issues and to take a leadership role in creating events and entertainment for their community and peers.

Grants of up to $1,500 are available for eligible organisations to deliver a range of projects including festivals, events, workshops, seminars, presentations, award ceremonies and youth forums.

Grants of up to $3,000 are also available for collaborative, community-wide events involving a range of partners, such as youth festivals with multiple organisations hosting a program of activities.

Forty community organisations and local governments across WA received grants to support youth-focused events and activities during Youth Week 2023 earlier this year.

Applications close at 2:30pm on Friday 25 August 2023, with recipients to be announced in January 2024.
