Global Youth is the largest independent youth organisation in the City of York. Every week we work with over 1000 young people, helping to improve and enhance the quality of their lives. Being part of Global Youth provides an adventure for young people and leaders alike, packed with energy, excitement, fun and challenging opportunities. We provide young people with great wisdom to enable them to navigate their way through this exciting but challenging phase of life. Global Youth runs weekly mentoring programmes, detached street work, dance groups, and extensive schools' work, with lunchtime and after school activities, work placements and much more. Fridays host Global's huge and successful youth event, providing young people with a great safe environment and a great atmosphere to meet their friends and enjoy a variety of activities.
