Become a Friend of Young Citizens

Do you want to ensure all children and young people have the skills, knowledge and motivation to be active citizens? Become a Friend of Young Citizens by setting up a regular donation via Just Giving.

Why schools need our help

Children and young people are growing up in a complex world, but we believe citizenship education can help them navigate it.

By bringing politics, law, economics, media and more into the classroom, citizenship enriches the school curriculum. It gives young learners the knowledge, skills and motivation they need to be active in their communities and tackle society’s biggest issues.

But citizenship education is in trouble. There has never been more pressure on state school budgets and teaching staff, meaning this vital part of education is often neglected – and the most disadvantaged pupils are even more likely to miss out.

We need your support to provide free, flexible and high-quality teaching resources to schools in the UK’s most underserved communities. Without them, vulnerable children and young people risk becoming misinformed, disengaged and disillusioned in our complex society.

Become a Friend of Young Citizens today with a monthly donation.

Can’t commit to a regular gift? You can make a one-off donation here too.

Why Become a Friend of Young Citizens?

A monthly donation can help secure the future of Young Citizens whilst expanding our scope. Each year, 1 in 5 schools in the UK use our resources – but your support can help us reach even more.

Regular donors will receive updates from our CEO about the impact you are having, as well as invitations to our special events.
