Aims

Youth Social Action (YSA)

Refers to activities that young people do to make a positive difference to others while developing key skills and attributes and having fun. YSA can take place in various contexts (i.e. at home, schools, youth clubs etc) and can include volunteering, fundraising, campaigning or supporting peers. We believe social action can play an essential role: in young lives, the success of a school, the local community or more.

Resource Hub

Our Resource Hub aims to act as a Youth Social Action search engine, offering tailored results to inspire and guide.

Youth Social Action Toolkit

Youth Social Action Toolkit

Our Youth Social Action Toolkit has been carefully developed by industry professionals with input from young people to guide school leaders, support staff, and young people through a Youth Social Action project. Our curriculum guides clearly outline how YSA can be integrated into the curriculum of schools with limited time.

 

We don’t gatekeep – by sharing our sector knowledge and resources, we aim to enrich the lives of all young people by fostering skills development, improving agency and wellbeing, and promoting active citizenship.

Inspire

The first step of the YSA process is to be inspired by an issue you care about! Check out our inspirational case studies on what you could do!

Explore

Reflect

The fifth and final step of the YSA process is to reflect! Looking back at your plan, did you achieve your aims?  What went well and what didn’t go so well? Can you sustain your project? Or did you take steps to ensure further projects aren’t needed?
