Positive Youth News

There are hundreds of youth organisations up and down the country.  The groups help and support youths in many different ways, ranging from encouraging young people to volunteer within their communities, to helping them to develop new skills or simply providing a safe environment for them to meet with friends.

Here at B4C, we don’t only want to focus on negative attitudes towards young people; we want to spread the word about all the positive organisations helping the next generation of teachers, youth workers and politicians to grow and develop.

If you attend, or help to run any youth-related group, please do get in touch. We’d love to hear about your organisation, what you do, how you run and what others, including the government, could be doing to help you maintain this valuable support. Why not write an article on your organisation, get your attendees to draw a picture or take a photograph showing what they best like about attending. Your contributions will be added to the website, and you may even get a visit from the B4C media team.

Aylesbury Youth Action (AYA) are based in a corner of the Queens Park Arts Centre in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. AYA provide the youths of Aylesbury with ‘volunteering for a New Generation.’ Established in 1971, the organisation has been offering 14-25 year olds opportunities to volunteer within the community across a large variety of different projects. Some of these projects have included the ‘Talking Newspaper’; where young people read the local newspaper and record it for the blind and regular gardening projects, as well as projects encouraging youths to work with the elderly and those with disabilities.
