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’. These range from teenagers taking part in Mock Trials in real courts, in front of real judges, to primary school children learning how to campaign for causes that matter to them in our Make a Difference Challenge.
Explore our programmes below, or find out how you can work with us to support our programmes.
