"Thanks to Youth Action Network I have been able to launch many projects. I appreciate their continuing help and support and good ideas and always feel there is someone there who will know answers or al least find me someone else who will have the answer."
Jane Robinson
Youth Action Network’s vision is for all young people to have the opportunity to participate in youth action volunteering and develop their own solutions to community needs.
We promote the youth action approach as a way of making volunteering for young people a more fulfilling, rewarding and beneficial experience. This approach is summed up in our nine principles of youth action which are at the heart of everything we do – we believe they are a recipe for success.
We have member organisations across the whole of England, who are committed to young people’s participation in voluntary activities with a social benefit. Our network is continually growing as more organisations who are seeking to involve young people in their volunteering want to share with others, learn from what’s worked well and offer their own good practice to help others.

Age Concern Rotherham achieved Reach status in March 2010. Reach is the quality practice framework for youth action agencies, a self-assessment tool, specifically for youth volunteering organisations. As a Vproject we were obliged to achieve Reach status as part of the conditions of our grant. I am glad to say that we achieved Reach status within the timescale expected of all Vprojects and Teams.
