Youth Day or National Youth Day is a commemorative holiday in honour of young people, celebrated in different parts of the world on various dates throughout the year.
Many countries' observance of the day corresponds with International Youth Day on August 12, which has been officially recognized by the United Nations since 1999.[1] There is also a World Youth Day, an event organized by the Catholic Church that takes place on the Sunday before Advent, and was initiated by Pope John Paul II in 1985.
