Ideas
PostersPut up posters up at school to remind people about Youth Week or another youth issue. Use the resource order form to get posters
Sound outGet some musicians together after school or during a lunch break and jam or put on a gig.
Mufti DaySchools that have uniforms can have freedom fun or mufti days. The money raised could be given to community organisations as a way of showing young people care about their community. Some national charities include: Youthline, Salvation Army, Canteen, Oxfam and the Cancer Society.

Staff vs. student debatePut the teachers on the spot for once, instead of the other way around. Pick a topic that you know lots about and will be of interest to others. Peer tutoringLaunching a peer tutoring programme is a great way to show that young people care about others who need support. Tutors help younger students in subject areas where they need extra support.
