Fun for young people
Across YORK!
There are so many great local clubs, groups and organisations for young people to try new sports, activities and hobbies in York. From football to crafts, there’s something for everyone — explore the pages of this website to find something for you.
Who are the York Youth Partnership?
The York Youth Partnership is a group of people and organisations who get together to ensure that Young people feel that York is a place where they belong. We want to make sure that young people have places to go, things to do and people to talk to.
Twice per year, In May and October, the York Youth Partnership bring together Give It A Go Week. This is a celebration of fun, friendship, and trying something new! Across York, youth clubs, sports teams, church groups, and community organisations put on free and low-cost activities to keep young people active and inspired.
It’s a chance to meet like-minded young people at local events, share in new experiences, and build lasting connections. From football matches and drama workshops to crafts, music, and outdoor adventures, every activity is designed to spark fun, friendship, and confidence.
GROUPS + COACHING + MORE
CONNECT WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU
More than just trying something new, Give It A Go Week offers a place to belong and feel welcomed — where every young person can explore, discover their strengths, and feel part of a supportive community. Whether it’s scoring your first rugby try, learning a new skill, or uncovering a hidden talent, this is your week to shine.
WHY GET INVOLVED IN A CLUB?
Young people gain confidence, make friends, and stay active when they try new things. Parents love seeing their children discover new passions. And our amazing local clubs get to welcome the next generation of members.
Everybody wins!
