About Us

 

Supporting a strong community youth sector

 

Kirklees Youth Alliance brings together organisations across the district to offer development and recreational opportunities to young people. We help create opportunities, strengthen local services, and make it easier for young people and families to access everything that's on offer.

 

 

 

 
 
 

What We Do

 

Connecting people, opportunities and support

 

We work across Kirklees to support a vibrant, inclusive youth sector. Our role is to connect organisations, share knowledge, and help ensure that young people have access to high-quality opportunities and services in their communities.

We focus on making it easier for:

 

Young people to find activities and ways to get involved

 

Families and carers to access trusted information about local youth opportunities

 

Organisations to strengthen their work through training, funding and collaboration

Our Role

 

Supporting organisations and strengthening services

 

We are a membership organisation working with voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) youth organisations.

We provide practical support and act as a collective voice for the sector, helping organisations to work together and influence local decision-making.
