About us
Young people are at the heart of everything we do. We work with our partners to build links across nations, bringing young people together.
Connecting Young People for More Than 90 Years
Youth Cymru is a major youth work charity operating within the whole of Wales. Until June 7th 2003 we were known as the Welsh Association of Youth Clubs (WAYC). The WAYC can trace its history back to the Cardiff and District Federation of Girls Clubs, which was formed in 1934. This means that Youth Cymru has been serving the needs of young people in Wales for over 90 years.
Support that Makes a Difference
Young people’s rights and participation are the bedrock of our work. We challenge inequality and discrimination supporting organisation to work with young people in a way that recognises and respects their authentic selves and individual experiences.
