Youth Week

NEW PLYMOUTH YOUTH ROCK!

Youth: Vibrant, diverse and creative

Youth Week aims to create a society that values young people and affirms their diversity. The week highlights the amazing things young people (aged 12-24) do all year.

Youth Week's vision is: "A country where young people are vibrant and optimistic through being supported and encouraged to take up challenges." 

Youth Week is about encouraging young people's participation and connections to their communities.

Each year during Youth Week there are events organised by young people and those who work with young people, all over Taranaki.

Events encourage young people to get involved, have a say, influence opinions, showcase their creativity and talent, share ideas, access information and have fun!
