Young Liverpool

Building Liverpool's youth work movement

Young Liverpool is a citywide network bringing together charities, community organisations and partners working with children and young people.

A stronger youth sector for Liverpool

Young Liverpool strengthens and champions youth work across the Liverpool City Region, bringing together organisations, practitioners, young people and communities.

Through collaboration, workforce development, participation and shared learning, we’re building the conditions for high-quality youth work to thrive.

our vision

Supporting young people across the region

Young Liverpool exists to build the conditions for youth work to thrive.

By bringing organisations, practitioners and partners together, we strengthen local youth work through collaboration, shared learning and citywide support – creating more opportunities for young people while supporting, rather than replacing, trusted local delivery.

Our Members

Founded by leaders from Liverpool’s youth sector

Young Liverpool was founded by Positive Futures, Sports Alive North West and Walton Youth & Community Project, bringing together established organisations with deep roots in Liverpool’s communities.

Today, Young Liverpool is growing into a wider network of organisations, community groups and partners, united by a shared commitment to strengthening youth work and improving opportunities for young people across the Liverpool City Region.

Our Projects

Young Leaders: developing the next generation

Young Leaders is Young Liverpool’s first flagship programme, supporting young people to build leadership skills and play an active role in their communities and shape the future of youth work.
