The Northamptonshire Youth Service is a creative educational organisation provided by the County Council and committed to responding to the needs of young people (primarily targeted at 13 -19 year olds) and the issues they face growing up in today's world.

The Youth Service is clearly for young people but also provides a service for:

• Parents - by making sure that high quality programmes are developed for their children
• The community - by making sure that the next generation in Northamptonshire have the best opportunities to become active and effective in their lives
• In order to address inequalities of opportunity we target young people in the greatest need, i.e. those at risk in both urban and rural areas, girls and young women, those with physical and learning disabilities and young people from minority communities.
