What is a youth club?

Youth clubs give young people a low-cost place to go outside of school, offering them many extra class activities. The
activities from club leaders and volunteers help young people to learn new skills and build confidence for the future, as
well as have fun. Young people choose to go there with their friends or to make new ones.

There are around 11,000 youth clubs in England.

What do youth clubs offer?

The 3,500 youth clubs that our members work with offer a large choice of activities. There is everything from boxing to
dance, as well as clubs working on the environment and creative arts.

Relationships are also important at the youth clubs - both with friends and the adults who work there. For some young
people, this is the place to talk about their life, problems and favourite experiences.

Youth clubs offer something for everyone. We want to make sure every young person in the UK has access to a club
that’s right for them – because youth clubs make a huge difference to young people’s lives.
