Introducing Victorian Youth Fest 2022, a month-long celebration across Victoria throughout September celebrating the contributions and achievements of young people.
Youth sector organisations, local governments and schools across Victoria can apply for grants of $2,000 to host Youth Fest events across the state.
Funds will support youth-led activities, events and projects that focus on issues of interest to young people in September 2022.
Events and activities can be face-to-face, digital or a mix of both but must be inclusive, accessible and provide opportunities for young people aged 12 to 25 to express their ideas and have their voices heard.
The Office for Youth encourages organisations who plan to host events for Victorians facing additional barriers to participating in community to apply. This includes young people who:
- have a disability
- identify as LGBTIQ+
- are from diverse cultural backgrounds
- live in rural and regional Victoria
- are Aboriginal
- face disadvantage and social isolation
- are refugees, asylum seekers or have recently arrived in Australia.
Applications close 29 April 2022. To apply visit Youth Central.
