About us
Who we are
Scotia Youth is aiming to create a brand new unique and innovative youth work organisation that aims to provide fresh, vibrant, fun, engaging and inspiring youth work to young people aged 11 to 25 years old across Edinburgh that empowers young people through activities, programmes and events that; UNITE young people and communities for a more equal and tolerant society, EDUCATE young people in life and work skills, social issues and personal development, EMPOWER a generation of Scottish young people to become successful, confident, effective and responsible, and CHANGE the negative stereotypes society can have of young people by promoting the good that young people do.
Youth work changes lives and we believe it’s our job to create a strong, responsive and imaginative youth organisation that puts young people at the heart of what we do and put them in charge of what they want to do, learn and achieve, by giving them the tools and opportunities to contribute to their communities, the wider society, their nation and the wider world.
We are hoping that using our Edinburgh base as our flagship that in future we will expand out to other areas across Scotland, using our work in Edinburgh as our foundation and template.
