About YFS2022

Over the last two years, the world has been devastated by the impacts of COVID-19. In Australia, we saw the highest levels of 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 shift focus towards creating long-lasting changes that will empower and embolden young people for generations to come.

Are you with us?  

Now is the time to speak with young people, not over them; to invite them into the room.

This Summit has been designed by young people but it is for a wide audience. The event will create an intergenerational dialogue between decision-makers, influencers and young people and produce a Youth Declaration which outlines to the Australian community their needs and hopes.
