Youth Programs
Programs that support, empower and elevate the young people of Alice Springs.
Alice Springs Town Council acknowledges the diverse skills, interests and needs of young people who live, work or study in our municipality. We know that young people enjoy opportunities to develop their skills, engage with and make positive contributions to their community and express themselves. Our Youth Programs wish to honour this in the way we design, plan and implement programs for young people. We enjoy delivering both regular annual and varied taster programs to support young people’s mixed interests which change, grow and develop as they do. Our programs are focused towards young people aged 12 to 25.
Our regular programs include the Phoney Film Festival, Youth Recycled Art Prize, and Youth Skate Workshops. What’s on can be seen below and register for a workshop here

The Youth Recycled Art Prize is a unique offering that gives young people an opportunity to explore creativity through the lens of sustainability. Participants have the chance to turn something that might be considered “trash” into an amazing piece of art.
There is three age categories included in 2024 (12−14 years, 15 – 17 and 18 – 25 years) with an exhibition being held from Friday 5th April – Friday 12th April throughout NT Youth Week. ASTC are calling for submissions no later than Friday 29th March.
A link to register is provided here.
Alice Springs Town Council are also offering a series of after-school workshops for those that would like some extra help in creating their masterpiece. See dates and times of workshops below. Free materials can be collected from the Rediscovery Centre. Calling ahead prior to collecting is required.
Cash prizes will be available for the winners of each category!
