Youth Week Tasmania 2022 will be held from Monday, 4 April 2022 to Sunday, 10 April 2022.

The theme for the Youth Week Tasmania 2022 is 'Youth: Next Gen'.

The 2022 Youth Week Tasmania Grants Program is coordinated by Communities, Sport and Recreation (CSR) in the Department of Communities Tasmania.
