Love the skin you’re in is the theme for this year’s Youth Week.

Youth Week, on now,  is a community celebration of all the good things young people do.

Events are organised by young people and those who work with them.

South Waikato Health Educator Sulita Povaru-Bourne said that youth get to learn new skills and meet others.

“It’s a good time for young people to get together and do the things they enjoy doing with their families and friends.”

It is also a time to thank youth service providers, youth workers, and others who work with young people.

Events taking place in Hamilton include hip hop and acting workshops, concerts, and a graffiti art celebration.
