LOCAL youth organisations will be given a boost to hold events for young people in the Redlands.
About 20 per cent of Redlands residents are between 10 and 25 years old, according to the 2016 census.
Redland City Council has launched is offering grants of up to $1500 to help local not-for-profit organisations run events during Queensland Youth Week from April 10 to 18.
Mayor Karen Williams said the Redlands Coast Youth Week grants had been established to recognise and support the work done by youth community organisations across the city.
"Council is pleased to be able to support our local youth organisations by helping to fund events which will give young people the opportunity to come together and make new connections."
Youth Week is Australia's largest celebration of young people aged 12 to 25 and highlights the positive contributions they make in our communities.
Redlands Coast Youth Week Grant applications close on Friday, March 5.
Council will acknowledge the achievements of young Redlands Coast residents through the Young Legends Awards, with winners to be announced during Queensland Youth Week.
Award nominations close at 4pm on March 12.
