Youth Options

Who we are

Youth Options was established in 1937. We believe passionately that every young person has the potential to realise their abilities and aspirations, and to make a valuable contribution to their communities. We are committed to supporting young people to develop their social and emotional skills to improve their chances in life. Our services are individually tailored to deliver vibrant, dynamic and ever-evolving opportunities that connect with and inspire young people.

Youth Options employs a dedicated and passionate staff team, and group of committed volunteers. We deliver services that are open access for all young people, but much of our delivery is targeted to young people with specific needs. We work with young people in a wide range of situations, including those in care, care leavers, those at risk of exclusion from school or society, those already excluded from mainstream education and young people who are NEET or likely to be NEET on leaving school.
