Youth Scotland has a membership of nearly 1,000 youth groups and clubs across Scotland.
"The services Youth Scotland provide are an important factor in the success of our youth project. If on the many occasions I had not been able to pick up the phone and chat to a member of staff … I would not have been able to provide this level of quality youth work in my youth group." Volunteer Youth Worker
