Empowering Youth to Lead and Inspire Change

Youth Action is a passionate, award-winning charity dedicated to amplifying the voices of young people across the UK. We believe that youth should not only be heard but also be a part of shaping the communities they live in. Our mission is to equip young people with the skills, opportunities, and support they need to make a positive impact and influence real change.

Our Vision

We envision a country where youth leads — where young people feel valued, empowered, and actively engaged in their communities. Through our work, we aim to create a society where young voices are central to decision-making and where young people are inspired and ready to lead.

Our Mission

Youth Action supports young people aged 12-25 in building their skills, achieving their potential, and making meaningful contributions to society. We do this by:

  • Running skill development and leadership programs,
  • Providing platforms for youth expression through initiatives like Xplode Magazine, and
  • Collaborating with key decision-makers to ensure that youth perspectives are heard and respected.

What We Do

Youth Action is committed to fostering growth, confidence, and a sense of purpose among young people. We offer a variety of programs designed to develop skills, build confidence, and inspire change:

  • Peer-led Volunteering Projects: Encouraging young people to give back to their communities.
  • Social Action Initiatives: Engaging youth in projects that tackle pressing issues and inspire transformation.
  • Skills Development Workshops: Building life skills, confidence, and resilience to help young people thrive.

  • Inclusivity: We believe that everyone deserves to be heard and have equal access to opportunities.
  • Empowerment: We are committed to fostering independence and confidence in every young person we support.
  • Respect: We value the diverse experiences and ideas that young people bring to the table.
