Youth Work Awards 17 Nov 2022 evening
Our annual NSW Youth Work Awards will be held at 7pm on 17 November at the Australian Theatre for Young People's beautiful new premises at Sydney Harbour.
The Awards is a great time to celebrate the amazing work the Sector has achieved this year. We hear so often from young people that what makes a real difference in their lives is the worker who cares, and it is important to honour that. The Awards is a fun celebration for everyone to mingle and hear about some of the outstanding achievements across the Sector.
