Urban Youth

Urban Youth provides a range of positive activities and support services for young people aged 9 to 19 years of age, living in Tower Hamlets and the surrounding areas. We work in partnership with other local and national organisations including the Primary Care Trust (PCT).

Urban Youth offers a safe and welcoming environment where young people can find non-judgemental information and support on a range of issues relating to their needs.

Involving Young People

Urban Youth was set up because young people wanted to engage in positive activities that were both social and educational and that were not part of the generic Youth Service.

Young people have been involved in the decision making process and planning of the Urban Youth projects since the begining of Urban Youth. Between August 2005 and May 2006, Urban Youth held several Consultations and questioned over 200 young people living in and around Tower Hamlets.

We believe that young people deserve quality youth clubs and activities, this is why we are committed in helping these young people to get what they want. We will do this by empowering them, giving them responsiblities and helping them to take an active role in developing themselves and their community.

Urban Youth believes that we should provide a quality service to all young people and actively challenge discrimination and welcome young people from all sections of the community regardless of their race, gender, sexuality, disability, religious, political and cultural beliefs.

Staff

Our weekly groups and services are staffed by friendly and experienced workers who are dedicated to providing a quality service for all young people they work with and promoting equal access. Our staff and volunteers are CRB checked and are involved in ongoing training and personal development programmes.
