Youth Week 2026

Cumberland City Council is celebrating Youth Week 2026 with a range of free workshops, activities and events for young people aged 12 to 25.

Youth Week will take place from 16 to 26 April 2026

The theme for Youth Week 2026 is ‘Dream. Dare. Do.’

The theme was proposed by 15-year-old Hafsa, who is a member of the 2026 NSW Youth Advisory Council. Hafsa states that the theme “encourages creativity and courage, inspiring young people to dream big and take real steps to make those dreams happen.”
