Quick Response Youth Engagement Grants

Important message

Changes to Library access and book drop

Construction of the new Civic Centre building will soon commence. The current Civic Centre carpark and nearby entrance will be closed from Monday 28 April and remain closed while works take place. The City Library will remain open and will be accessible from the Civic Centre Customer Services’ entry near Civic Park. 

Please note that the City Library returns chute will be temporarily unavailable. A new Book Drop will be installed at the Cavenagh St side of the Civic Centre soon. 

We kindly ask all customers to:

  • return items inside the Library during opening hours, or
  • use one of the 24/7 return chutes located at Casuarina, Nightcliff or Karama libraries.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Purpose

City of Darwin’s Quick Response Youth Engagement Grant program was a one-off initiative to support community strengthening projects and initiatives that address emerging and critical issues facing young people. A total grant pool of $50,000 was available for projects that enhance Darwin as a safe, liveable and healthy city and primarily benefit at-risk and vulnerable young people aged 12-25 who reside in the northern suburbs. The program ran from October 2021 to March 2022.

Priorities

The priorities for the funding round were:

  • Programs for at risk and vulnerable young people on Friday and Saturday nights
  • Youth programs in the northern suburbs (Chan, Richardson and Waters wards)
  • Connecting young people with services and programs
  • Response to an emerging or critical issue

Applications that addressed the priorities identified in City of Darwin's 2022-2026 Youth Strategy were also highly regarded.
