Our mission is to be the champion of young people in Berkshire, furthering their development and education and enriching their lives through leisure time activities to help them grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society and that their conditions of life may be improved.
We do this by supporting and developing clubs and delivering projects so they can provide the best service for young people in Berkshire and give them the best possible start in life. We ensure that everything we do is sensitive to each local community’s agenda so that we can be a trusted advocate for young people and communities.
Berkshire Youth supports youth leaders and young people aged 10 to 18 through challenging life transitions/events to help them make the right choices, grow resilience and mature as individuals and members of society through:
- Activities to encourage young people to adopt a healthy lifestyle and grow in confidence and self-esteem
- Training for youth workers, volunteers and young people
- Action through volunteering, encouraging young people to take positive action within their own community, involve others in shaping services for young people and to grow into the next generation of leaders
- Club support for the many clubs for young people across Berkshire, including affiliating our members to Ambition and UK Youth
