About YFS2022
Over the last two years, the world has been devastated by the impacts of COVID-19. In Australia, we saw the highest youth unemployment and underemployment, increasing debt for young people, disruption to school and education, serious mental health challenges, and much more.
But one thing is clear, none of these issues are new. We needed to come together to confront our generation-defining struggles and create a vision for life beyond the pandemic.
After the success of YFS2020, we’re back to shifting focus towards creating long-lasting changes that will empower and embolden young people for generations to come.
Are you with us? Â
Now is the time to speak with young people, not over them, to invite them into the room.
Young people have designed this Summit, but it is for a wide audience. The event will create an intergenerational dialogue between decision-makers, influencers, and a diverse range of young people to produce a Youth Charter that outlines their needs and hopes to the Australian community.
YFS2022 Will:
The Youth Futures Summit is a virtual event that brings together thousands of people from across multiple and diverse sectors and communities to:
Engage in the biggest issues impacting young people,
Inspire ideas and actions for change,
Enable meaningful opportunities to learn, grow and connect with others,
Influence the systems and structures that impact us all.
