Youth Connect programs, events and activities

Our Youth Connect team works to provide low-cost, accessible youth activities, programs and events aimed at young people aged 12 - 25 in the Toowoomba Region.

Youth Connect works with young people, families and service providers to:

  • identify local needs, issues and opportunities
  • support young people's health and wellbeing
  • empower young people to take a lead role in the delivery of youth programs
  • create platforms for young people to connect, belong and participate in their local communities.

Where possible, we work with locals to support community-led events.

Mayoral School Leaders Morning Tea

The Mayoral Morning Teas are annual events for primary and secondary school leaders. School leaders are invited from across the Toowoomba Region.

These events recognise young people’s roles as future leaders in our community. At these events young people are given an opportunity to:

  • voice their stories and experiences
  • mix with peers
  • engage with community leaders
  • meet the Mayor and the Councillors.

Queensland Youth Week

Each year, Youth Connect participates in Queensland Youth Week (QYW). QYW celebrates and recognises the talents, achievements, and contributions of young people. During this week, community events are organised across the state. These events encourage young people to explore their interests, develop their talents and connect with their communities. 

Mayoral School Achievement Medals

The Mayoral School Achievement Medals are to recognise the achievements and contributions young people make to their school communities in the Toowoomba Region. The award reflects the bravery, efforts and personal milestones achieved by young people, even in the face of adversity and hardship.

Nominations can only be provided by schools.
