Youth Week Grants

Applications for Council’s 2022 Youth Week Grants and Youth Week Committee have opened with local groups and young people encouraged to apply to be involved in the celebrations of the largest annual youth participation event in Australia.

Spread the word! Youth Week will be celebrated from Monday 4 April to Thursday 14 April 2022.

As part of Youth Week, Council, in collaboration with the Department of Family and Community Services, provides funding to groups which involve young people in planning, developing and managing activities.

Non-profit, incorporated organisations or groups that want to work with young people to deliver a 2022 Youth Week event can apply for up to $1,000 in funding.

To be successful, applications will need to provide information on the proposed Youth Week event and how young people will be involved throughout the planning and coordinating. Applicants are also encouraged to collaborate with other groups where possible.

To assess Youth Week Grant applications and the allocation of funding to successful applicants, nominations for the 2022 Maitland Youth Week Grant Program Committee are now open to young people aged 12 to 25 years, living, working or studying in Maitland.

For more information on the Maitland City Council Youth Week Grant Program 2022, please contact Katherine Simmons, Team Leader Community and Recreation Planning on 02 4939 1029 or [email protected]
