National Youth is a UK-wide organisation dedicated to empowering young people and the youth organisations that serve them. We strengthen the youth sector by providing expert training, strategic support, and our evidence-based Youth Framework. Beyond capacity-building, we help create sustainable youth hubs, particularly for underserved communities, offering safe, inclusive, and culturally reflective spaces. Our mission is simple yet ambitious: to ensure every young person has the tools, opportunities, and support to succeed and lead positive change in their communities.
We close the skills and resource gap by delivering high-calibre training, professional development, and ongoing coaching. Many grassroots groups lack access to structured frameworks or sustainable support, National Youth fills this gap with evidence-based practice, advocacy, and capacity building.
We address rising mental health struggles, social isolation, and barriers to opportunity by creating safe, inclusive environments. Through tailored programmes, young people gain leadership skills, employability training, and a sense of belonging, empowering them to succeed in education, work, and community life.
We support the creation of dedicated youth centres, especially within communities where culturally sensitive provision is scarce. By helping groups design and sustain spaces by and for their youth, we tackle isolation, stigma, and deprivation while promoting resilience, civic engagement, and long-term community transformation.

A UK where every young person has access to safe spaces, strong role models, and meaningful opportunities to succeed.
We envision a future where youth organisations are well-resourced, youth hubs are sustainable and culturally reflective, and young people are empowered to overcome social, mental health, and economic challenges. By building national networks and establishing dedicated centres, particularly for underserved communities, we aim to foster resilience, belonging, and leadership for generations to come.

To empower young people and youth organisations with the tools, training, and safe spaces they need to succeed and lead positive change.
We provide expert training, strategic support, and high-quality resources through our evidence-based Youth Framework, ensuring that youth organisations deliver safe, inclusive, and impactful programmes. Our mission is to nurture young people into confident, capable, and socially responsible leaders who can transform their communities.
