Become part of a dynamic charity, with a great mix of people committed to making a real difference for young people through a range of fun and challenging programmes and initiatives.

Action4Youth changes lives and creates better chances for young people by creating opportunities to discover their personal strengths and potential.

We work with young people from all backgrounds and all abilities to make a real difference to their futures.

We are a respected and dynamic charity based in Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes but reaching young people across the wider south east region.

This is an opportunity for someone with a can-do attitude and a strong desire to make things happen.

You will join a supportive, driven, committed team whose desire to achieve is matched by an intention to enjoy work on a day to day basis.

You will be based in Aylesbury. You should expect to enjoy being part of a collaborative, loud and energetic organisation.

Our Mission
To support all young people's growth towards fulfilling and responsible adult lives,
Action4Youth develops physical, mental, spiritual, moral and cultural abilities which act as:

A Springboard towards realising dreams
A Safety Net for those at risk
A Voice of influence from the young and for the young

In order to benefit as many young people as possible while maintaining Action4Youth's financial stability, we partner with those (government, schools, youth clubs, businesses, trusts and foundations and others) who share our mission.

What we do
Action4Youth delivers various youth programmes including; the National Citizen Service
(NCS), The Inspiration Programme (TIP), The Breakout Programme, The Junction and an established mentoring programme.

Action4Youth takes the strategic lead for the voluntary organisations supporting children and young people aged years across its area. It has around 75 organisations in membership and offers a range of essential support and services.

Our outdoor education centre, Caldecotte Xperience in Milton Keynes, creates opportunities for young people to have amazing, challenging, fun and sometimes transformational experiences.

They learn what they can do rather than what they can't, building their confidence and self-belief.

Action4Youth is the operating authority for Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and
Northamptonshire for Open Awards Groups for the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.
