YOUNG DEVON

Who are we?
Young Devon (Formerly Devon Youth Association) is a charity that was established in 1949 to support and deliver services to young people living in Devon. In that time Young Devon has grown to become the largest voluntary youth service in the area with a workforce of 120 paid and 300 unpaid staff.

Where do we work?
We work out of 8 drop in centres and 5 supportive housing projects. In addition we use a mobile unit and outreach staff to work with young people living in rural parts of the County.

FACTS

• Young Devon makes contact with over 10,000 young people a year and works intensively with many young people that have a range of challenges that they want to overcome, in order to fulfil their potential.
• Every night Young Devon ensures that 200 young people are able to access supported accommodation across Devon and Plymouth.
• Every month Young Devon offers 500 hours of counselling to young people through our network of drop in centres.

Our services include working with young carers, providing advice and information on housing, sexual health, volunteering, counselling and drugs and alcohol.
