Youthful energy to power April celebrations in Isaac

Isaac is set to celebrate the boundless energy that young people bring to the region for 2019 Queensland Youth Week this April 3-14.

Young people between the ages of 12 to 25 will have the opportunity to learn new skills in the Isaac region.

Activities on offer include Bollywood dancing, henna body art workshops and outdoor movies and adrenalin-pumping events at either the go-kart track or skate park.

Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said a young person living in the Isaac region should be able to look to the future with excitement and see limitless possibilities.

“Being young is about exploring opportunities that come with increased independence and having the benefit of choice,” Mayor Baker said.
