Decision details

Purpose of report: To consider the outcomes, impact and lessons learned from the Government funded York Youth Community Action Programme 2010, and the best ways to ensure its legacy is sustained.

The Executive Member is asked to: Consider the results of the programme.

RESOLVED:(i)         That the outcome and impact of the Youth Community

                                    Action Programme be noted.

                        (ii)            That the importance of youth community action and

                                    volunteering be endorsed.

                        (iii)            That the recommendations detailed in Annex A of the

report be approved to ensure that the legacy of the programme is sustained.

REASON:      Youth volunteering and community action offers a great opportunity for CYC to continue to foster relations between voluntary groups and schools to provide the city’s 14-16 year olds with a range of opportunities that would otherwise have been unavailable to them and for young people to achieve demonstrable outcomes for the benefit of communities, other individuals and the environment.
