Active Citizenship Programmes

Young Citizens believes that active citizenship should be an essential part of children and young people’s education.

Alongside our libraries of lesson resources, each year we reach over 8,000 young people in our state schools with practical, exciting experiences of ‘citizenship in action’. Most of our programmes are available in each nation, or we aim to launch there soon.
