About the Organisation
Gateshead Youth Council
Gateshead Youth Council (GYC) is an organisation which has been in existence since 1979. We are youth centred, youth focused and youth led.We target young people aged 11-25 and carry a broad remit which is reflected in the diverse range of youth issues and activities that we are involved in on a local, regional, national and international basis.We are a registered Charity with a voluntary Board of Trustees and Chairperson. Our Board is made up of range of professionals and people who have been part of GYC projects in the past. At GYC we develop projects and services in partnership with young people, such as Gateshead Youth Assembly, and we involve ourselves in issues concerning Young People.Our aim is to be a channel for organisations representing young people to express views and opinions collectively to Local Authorities or Government on issues concerning them. We also encourage those working with young people to develop skills, share resources and broaden experience to assist their community and organisation. GYC is an organisation, which responds directly to the issues of organisations and young people in order to fulfil their needs.
