About us
Young Warwickshire- helping you to help young people
More familiarly known as "Young Warwickshire" or "WCVYS", we are the umbrella organisation that brings together all the the major voluntary youth organisations in the county.
We work closely with the County Council's Youth and Community Service, the Children, Young People and Families Directorate and the Coventry and Warwickshire Connexions Service. Together we provide a comprehensive training programme for youth workers, administer grants for training and projects and offer many opportunities for voluntary youth groups to enhance their programme of work with young people.
We advise and support youth workers and youth group managers, campaign on behalf of our members and most importantly represent the voluntary youth sector at many County, Regional and National meetings and events.
WCVYS..............
Is based in Stratford-Upon-Avon, but we cover the whole County.
Links with over 40 organisations, 400 youth groups and over 20,000 young people and 2,000 youth workers.
