About usChanging Lives Through Youth Work
As the largest national youth work organisation, Youth Scotland supports 66,000 young people, 1,450 youth groups and over 8,200 youth workers.
- Our diverse membership has national reach and is made up of a network of local Area Associations, youth groups, youth workers and volunteers
- Youth Scotland values the development of community-based youth work as an essential approach to our work
- We want to create ways for youth work to enable more young people to demonstrate what they have achieved personally and within their communities
It has opened more doors and opportunities and helped me meet new people and new contacts to help me with my career and building my network.Niomi, DJ and young person
