Founded in 1974 to support and work with youth
groups throughout the County, Young People Cornwall is a local charity
with a long track record of success in helping young people aged 11 to
25. Building on our beginnings as the Cornwall County Association of
Youth Clubs, we decided in the late 1980’s to become a major
provider of youth work in our own right.
Today we support work with 11 – 25 year olds through specialist
projects and programmes addressing issues that marginalise or place
young people at risk, including mental health, homelessness, crime,
racism, sexuality, drug & alcohol use, abuse, rural isolation and
poverty. |

We use a range of approaches
within our projects including information,
advice
and guidance, outdoor
activities, music, arts, training, environmental and community
work in order to facilitate the personal and social development
of young people.
All our activities work towards
the 5 Every Child Matters outcomes enabling young people to Stay Safe,
Be Healthy, Enjoy & Achieve, Make a Positive Contribution and
Achieve Economic Well-being.
