Who the Youth Hub is for

The Youth Hub is open to young people aged 11-18 from across St Helens, offering inclusive, non-judgemental support regardless of background or circumstance. We work with young people at different stages of their journey, always focusing on strengths, potential and aspirations.

At YMCA St Helens, we believe every young person deserves a fair chance to discover who they are and what they can achieve. Our Youth Hub is built on YMCA values of respect, care and empowerment, with experienced youth workers who genuinely care about the wellbeing and future of the young people we support.
