“In all our work with young
people we help them to build a better future. Every young
person is an individual with differing needs, but
they all deserve the same; to be welcomed, respected and
valued. Only when this has happened and relationships based on
trust and support are formed that effective youth work can take
place.
YMCA youth work and programmes help to
actively involve and challenge young people, enable them to find a
sense of achievement, explore ideas and issues which affect their
lives, and acquire the skills to cope with a variety of real life
situations.
We hope young people move on from the YMCA
with more confidence, self-esteem and accountability, a greater
awareness of the difference they can make in the world, a sense of
citizenship and a desire to fulfill their full potential”. YMCA UK |
