Schools and community organisations in Melton are being encouraged to apply for funding for activities hosted as part of Youth Fest 2025.
Supporting up to 110 events across the state – from live music to art showcases, cultural festivals and sports competitions, Youth Fest offers young people the chance to lead the way and make a difference in their community.
Grants of up to $2000 are available from the state government for schools, councils and community organisations teaming up with young people aged 12 to 25 to create events focused on young people.
Youth Minister Natalie Suleyman said the government was encouraging Victorian to create events that truly matter to them.
“Youth Fest is about celebrating talent, creativity and leadership – making sure everyone can be part of something special,” she said.
“From ideas big or small, this grant program ensures young Victorians are not just involved – they’re leading the way and celebrating the incredible diversity of talent across the state.”
Melton MP Steve McGhie said, “Youth Fest is a fantastic opportunity for young people to take the reigns and create the type of events they’d like to go to”.
Youth Fest 2025 applications are open until March 14.
