Join us at BYC Convention 2008
As the National Youth Council of the UK, we aim to support all young people in the UK to exercise your right to participate in decisions which affect you and to have a voice on issues about which you have a strong opinion.
So what does BYC stand for? Well, we want to be your champion by representing the voice of young people in the UK. We represent a unique and diverse group of young people; providing you with opportunities to Get Active and have your voice heard on decisions which affect your life and which you are interested in.
What do we do? We work to build the capacity of young people and youth organisations through Our Services and by providing support, advice and other Useful Stuff on involving young people at all levels of decision making. We bring you closer by helping you to get involved locally and internationally, from volunteering to meeting MP's.
We also bring you campaigns supporting and promoting the rights, involvement and citizenship of young people.
Oh, and we realise that successful youth organisations develop themselves by developing their young people, which is why we provide training and consultancy services as well. Check out our series of national programmes and the interactive courses we offer, focusing on young people's skills development. Also check out our News & Events section for the latest on what young-people of the UK and abroad are doing, or even take a minute to visit the BYC Video Archive.
Meet Us and learn about BYC....we hope you will Join Us in ensuring the young voice is heard across the world.
