Youth

Our youth clubs are designed to help young people make new friends, develop physical, mental and social skills and most importantly, have lots of fun! The groups run every day of the week in different areas of Essex and each group has a variety of sports equipment, music, games consoles, arts and crafts etc.

We believe that every child should feel safe, confident and valued whilst in attendance. We try our best to have the same youth workers in each group to maintain trust, consistency and respect.

Our groups follow 3 rules; Be kind, Be respectful, Be honest.

Our youth groups are run by members of our team who have training in first aid and safeguarding, they also have an enhanced DBS with YMCA Essex.

In order to join our clubs, we will require all young people to register. You can do so through this weblink or use the QR code below if you’d rather sign up via mobile:
