BUILD BACK BETTER: YOUTH

Supporting the youth sector to recover fro COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant challenges for the for- purpose sector. While every organisation has had to deal with the unexpected, it’s undeniable that some organisations have been hit harder than others.

Given the significant need among young people in combination with the changes and challenges facing many youth sector organisations, we’ve written this paper to support those who work with and for young people.

The paper is based on insights drawn from interviews with youth sector leaders across the country and importantly, also contains the voice of young people.
