London Youth
London Youth will:
- By 2020, engage over 1,500 young people from over 100 youth organisations across London in social action and leadership programmes, making efforts to reach out and involve reluctant young people and those who might not otherwise get involved in youth social action
- Provide a triple-benefit through participation in our social action programmes: develop the skills of young people, create more cohesive communities and equipping grassroots youth organisations to increase capacity and stability
- Strengthen and empower the collective voice of young Londoners to create positive change across the capital, through our youth board Dare London, the use of peer researchers and the encouragement of effective youth participation throughout our membership
- Facilitate a network of good practice and support for organisations looking to develop more inclusive social action and projects run by disabled and non-disabled young people together and share stories of diverse groups of young people making a difference
Next progress update is coming soon, so watch this space!

Quote from Charlotte Hill, CEO at Step Up To Serve
“The #iwill campaign is driven by leaders from across society who are committed to making youth social action a normal part of growing up in the UK.
We know that young people want to play an active part in improving their communities, and that in doing so, they develop their own skills for work and life.
Over 350 cross-sector organisations so far have pledged to support youth social action, and say #iwill. What will you do?”
