About NYA

About the National Youth Agency

At the National Youth Agency, we are passionate about young people, and believe that they should have a voice in everything that affects them, and the performance of services will be improved by taking proper account of that voice.We believe that young people have the energy and potential to improve their own lives and those of the community, now and as they grow up.

We are an independent charity, and the partner of choice for local government, local authorities and third sector organisations, delivering with them, and advising and supporting them in the development of programmes and policies for young people. Increasingly, we also work in partnership with the private sector.

Consultancy support

The National Youth Agency is one of few organisations that can offer both a national and local perspective.We are able to reach the genuine voice of young people who are marginalised in their communities, and have had the most interaction with the police and criminal justice system. Run by experts in the field, our consultations are proven to gain the trust of hard-to-reach young people, and enable their views to be heard.

Our consultations can range from small workshops and focus groups to larger conferences enabling us to explore wider issues, as well as those that are more specific to particular communities and geographic areas.
