What is Youth Day?
Youth Day is an annual day of activities organised by young people, for young people across the city.
It aims to show the important contribution made by 11 to 25 year olds in all aspects of life in Salford.
We know our young people make a positive difference to our city - and we want to capture and celebrate this.
Youth Day 2022
Every year our Youth Day celebrations have become bigger with more young people showing the positive impact they have on their communities.
Our young people decided that the 2022 Youth Day theme was: Aim high – Build for the future.
Take a look at our week of celebrations for Salford Youth Day 2022 on our highlights video! It was great to see so many of our young people come together and celebrate the positive difference young people make to our city.
