The Holiday Break program

Young people are at the heart of vibrant communities. The NSW Government supports programs that allow our young people to thrive.

The Holiday Break program provides access to activities during the school holidays, and has now expanded to include all of NSW.

This program invites eligible councils and organisations to apply for funding to run events for young people in the regions.

It offers free activities that cover a variety of interests, like sports, science and the arts. This way, young people can develop their skills, connect with others, and explore new ideas.
