NSW Youth Week is an annual celebration of young people held in early April around the school holidays.
Northern Beaches Youth Week 2025 caters to a diverse range of interests, through large scale events to small workshops and niche activations, with young people involved in their planning and delivery.
It has been put on by a collaboration between Council and local youth services. Northern Beaches Youth Week 2025 includes the following two headline events:
Northern Composure Unplugged is back in 2025. Unplugged is an acoustic competition for all Northern Beaches musicians aged 12-24.
Battle for the Beaches: 3×3 is a youth-focused and inclusive all-day 3×3 basketball tournament for young people aged 12 to 24
Young Writers' Competition invites students to write an original work of creative writing using a special hero word. This year's hero word is 'Change'.
