Youth Week is an international celebration of youth held annually during the first week of May. It is a week of fun, interaction and celebration intending to build a strong connection between young people and their communities and to profile the issues, accomplishments and diversity of youth across the province.

Wherever Youth Week is celebrated, the idea behind it is the same: Young people are important and need to be recognized in a constructive and positive manner. Their contributions need to be acknowledged and celebrated.

During Youth Week, young people around the world organize and participate in many activities including sporting events, musical performances, art displays, movie nights, random acts of kindness, award ceremonies, community projects displays on education and employment services and much more!

Youth Week spans the globe! See the supporters of BC Youth Week events in British Columbia.

The success of Youth Week in the Lower Mainland over the last decade has generated a lot of interest and has been internationally recognized. We would like to share our successes and provide networking opportunities for youth across the Province. Think if the impact we could make across the globe if every municipality in British Columbia proclaimed Youth Week annually and celebrated the contributions of local youth in a meaningful way!
