Additional Information

UK Youth exists to develop and promote innovative non-formal education programmes for and with young people - working with them to develop their potential. Our network supports more than 750,000 young people, 7000 youth groups, clubs and projects and more than 40,000 volunteer and part-time youth workers throughout the UK. Our work with young people makes a lasting impact by encouraging young people to take responsibility and become involved citizens. It gives a voice to people who are too rarely heard and builds skills that will remain useful throughout their lives.
