The youth charity for children & young people
Action4Youth is an ambitious, proactive charity focused on driving forward the crucial youth agenda to transform lives for the better. Every child should have the opportunity to be heard, to be safe and to succeed.
Special Support
Our staff teams are all trained and experienced in supporting and working with young people with special educational or behavioural needs.
At Action4Youth our aim is to offer our full range of programmes and opportunities to all young people.

Programmes like The Breakout Programme and The Youth Mentoring scheme encourage positive engagement and achievement in young people whose challenging behaviour can lead them to the brink of exclusion from school.
