Young Citizens helps young people become active, engaged and motivated citizens, who are able to contribute positively to their communities whether those communities are local, national or global. We believe that by helping young people play a full part in their communities, we can help strengthen democratic society. At a time when so many of our democratic institutions are under threat, our work is more important than ever.

Our work ranges from immersive learning projects where young people learn about the legal justice system to empowering children to take action on social issues they care about most. We also empower teachers and volunteering professionals with specialist training and resources for classroom delivery. All of our work has a single aim: to help young people be active citizens for life.

Every mile run and penny raised will go directly towards our work to help change the lives of young people through our programmes, services and events. Let's empower our young citizens!
