Youth Week 2018

If you know a young person in the Forbes Shire who deserves to be recognised for their achievements and contribution to the community, you should nominate them for a Youth Week Award!

This year NSW Youth Week will be held from April 13 to April 22, and the theme is Unity Through Diversity.

The awards ceremony on Saturday, April 21 is just one of the events that will be held throughout Youth Week in Forbes, with more events to be announced.  

Forbes Shire Council is encouraging parents, carers, teachers and employers to nominate their children, students or employees for the awards.

Youth from 12 to 25-years-old can be nominated for the following awards:

Youth Citizenship Award

This award will be presented to a young person who has had an active and positive role in our community. Contributions can include ongoing volunteer work, taking a lead role in organising events including charity work, partaking in sporting and or cultural groups etc.

Sports Volunteer Award

This award is for any young person who volunteers or contributes to Forbes’ sport and recreation. The young person may assist with refereeing, coaching, setting and packing up, mentoring, canteen duties and any other way that provides assistance to the sport and/or club.

Brighter Future Award

This award is for apprentices, trainees or students. They may be participating in tertiary education or work placement. They must have demonstrated strong commitment, consistent effort, a high level of passion and determination for their chosen field/career path.

All award categories will be judged by a panel of selected community representatives. Please note that a person can be nominated for more than one award using the same nomination form.

Nominations are now open and will close at 5pm on Wednesday, 28th March 2018.

Click here to download a nomination form or collect a form from Youth Development Assistant Lauren Cook at Council’s Administration Office.
