2024 Youth Week in Gunnedah will provide young locals with an opportunity to share ideas, attend live events, showcase their talents and take part in competitions.

The theme of this year’s week-long celebration is Express. Empower. Get Loud! and it all kicks off on Thursday April 11 with a Youth Expo at the Gunnedah Town Hall (9am-3pm).

The expo will present a smorgasbord of career and education options along with invaluable health and wellbeing support.

On Tuesday, April 16 a workshop session will be held at Ella Baché Gunnedah to master the art of skincare and beauty with confidence. Each session will combine a mini-facial and make-up session. Spaces are limited so bookings are essential.

For keen anglers there’s a day out fishing at Lake Keepit on Thursday April 18. Participants will learn all the basic skills for practicing safe and responsible fishing while getting some hands-on experience. The day is free and shuttle buses will run from PCYC Gunnedah to the lake.

PCYC will also hold a two-day futsal camp on Thursday April 18 and Friday April 19. Participants will learn skills and play in a mini competition.

“We strongly encourage young people aged between 12 and 24 who are living in our community to take advantage of these fantastic free activities on offer. There’s something for everyone to enjoy,” said Gunnedah Shire Council Manager Economy and Growth Susan Frater.
