Overview

Youth Week Tasmania, supported by the Tasmanian Government, celebrates the contributions, creativity and leadership of young people across the state. 

In 2026, $30,000 is available through the Youth Week Tasmania Small Grants Program, offering grants of up to $2,000 for eligible organisations to deliver Youth Week events, activities or projects.

Youth Week Tasmania 2026 will run from Thursday 16 April to Thursday 23 April 2026. 

This years’ theme, chosen by young people, is ‘Our Voice. Our Vision. Our Future’. 

The theme celebrates the power and potential of all young people. It recognises that young people’s ideas and perspectives matter (Our Voice), encourages them to imagine and shape possibilities for themselves and their communities (Our Vision), and highlights their role in creating positive change for tomorrow (Our Future). The theme inspires young people to lead, participate, and have a real impact on the world around them.

Coordinated by YNOT, the Small Grants Program empowers communities to deliver meaningful, youth-led initiatives.

The program aims to:

• Showcase the talents and achievements of young Tasmanians
• Celebrate the positive contributions young people make in their communities
• Build capability by involving young people in planning and delivering Youth Week activities.

Youth Week Tasmania is a statewide, inclusive celebration that embraces young people from all backgrounds and encourages participation across every region.
