Youth Week will kick off on April 16 until April 24 across the shire.
Youth Week is an opportunity for young people to express their ideas and views, act on issues that affect their lives, and create and enjoy activities and events.
This year's theme is together more than ever.
Here's a list of planned Youth Week activities:
Wingecarribee Shire Council
Wingecarribee Shire Council is inviting the youth of the Southern Highlands to come together and celebrate NSW Youth Week from April 16 to April 24.
Council's youth liaison officer Michelle Williams explained the importance of the week for our Shire's young residents.
"It provides a chance for our youth to get involved with council and local service organisations, meet other young people with similar interests and find out how they can get involved with other events throughout the year," she said.
"These events are a fantastic opportunity for teenagers and young adults across the Shire to have some fun in a drug and alcohol-free environment."
