National Youth Week 2021 (May 1–May 7)
This year's theme: Making Connections
We are celebrating National Youth Week 2021 with free online activities to inspire, engage and connect Barrie’s youth!
National Youth Week (NYW) is an annual initiative to recognize and celebrate youth and their positive contributions to the community.
This year's theme is
Making Connections, which has been a challenge for everyone in our community over the past year. Our hopes are that through these virtual activities we will restore some of those connections. The week ends on May 7, which is also National Child and Youth Mental Health Day.
NYW activities below are offered to ages 13–19 unless otherwise stated.
