UK Youth
For 100 years UK Youth has been enabling young people to develop the skills necessary to tackle the important issues and challenges they face in life. Our programmes use our unique social skills based curriculum model that assists young people to develop the resiliance, skills and competences necessary to make successful transitions to adulthood.
We research, develop and trial innovative accredited youth work programmes and have provided learning opportunities for youth groups, youths clubs, projects, schools, Local Education Authorities, Pupil Referral Units and many other groups working with young people. Recent specific achievements include:
•the development and growth of The Youth Achievement Awards,
•the launch of a programme to develop the Youth Achievement Foundations, small independent schools that provide an alternative approach to full time education for young people at risk of exclusion
•the development of our Peer Education programmes including Movers and Shapers
All of our programmes engage young people at the heart of their development and delivery. We address issues which are important to young people such as financial awareness, employment, health and mobility through programmes such as our Peer Education programme, Young Mothers Learning, First Gear and Bike Club.
Our work with young people makes a lasting impact by encouraging them to take responsibility and become involved. It gives a voice to people who are too rarely heard and builds skills that will remain useful throughout their lives.
Young people are at the heart of everything we do through our national youth forum, UK Youth Voice, who volunteer their time for the organisation. We have recently extended this group to include an e-Voice group through our programme “Hearing Unheard Voices”, which enables the participation of a far larger group of young people.
We deliver all of our programmes and training through our network, which is made up of:
750,000 young people.
40,000 volunteer and part-time youth workers.
7,000 youth groups, clubs and projects.
40 autonomous metropolitan and country based associations.
3 autonomous national member organisations in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales
as well as Local Authorities, Schools, Extended Schools and residential settings such as
Avon Tyrrell, our 65 acre activity centre in the New Forest.
