-Youth opportunity fund

North Yorkshire County Council has once again been allocated money to be spent on provision for young people (primarily 13-19 years of age, but may extend to 25 if the young person has learning difficulties or a disability).

The youth opportunity fund Opens in a new window (YOF) and youth capital fund (YCF) are Government grants that aim to improve and increase opportunities for 'places to go' and 'things to do' for young people.

One of the main principles behind the funding is that young people themselves should be involved in making decisions about what the funding is used for.

Within the guidelines provided, and by working with young people, we have developed a range of mechanisms that include open access opportunities and special initiatives that target disadvantaged groups. Our aim is that by assisting young people to access these funds, they may improve upon and increase the number of quality 'places to go' as well as create more opportunities for 'things to do'.
