YCSA

YCSA They begin to recognise the potential they posses to achieve what they might have thought was impossible.

YCSA delivers support services that empower young people from minority ethnic communities through a variety of projects, 1-to-1 support, counselling & wellbeing services - in & around Glasgow. The organisation provides a range of services delivered through personal programmes which over the years have been designed taking young people’s experience and feedback into account. Through the programmes

young people begin to become aware of the latent strength which they have and begin to develop this strength which leads them on a journey to becoming active citizens of society. In essence the organisation seeks to provide services which will assist young people to develop the confidence, skills and leadership to go forward in life. YCSA works in partnership with both voluntary and statutory bodies in Glasgow and within the Scottish government to ensure that resources are in place to meet the vision. As an organisation YCSA is one of the leading Youth organisation who have expertise in working with young people from ethnic minorities and more recently with all young people. We will learn from our past experience to continue to excel in the standard of service we provide to all young people. Although YCSA is a citywide organisation, we predominantly offer provisions in the Pollokshields, Govanhill and Woodlands areas of Glasgow.

What a fantastic end to Week 2! ☀️

We’ve had an amazing week, with the sunshine making it even more special! It has been wonderful to see so many young people having fun, making new friends, and enjoying a packed programme of activities.

The week started with some very competitive games of Uno—without a doubt the most popular game of the week! Alongside park visits, the young people also enjoyed learning how to write their names in a different language, trying something new and having lots of fun along the way.

Wednesday brought one of the highlights of the week with a fantastic trip to Clyde Valley Family Park. With the sun shining all day, everyone had an incredible time go-karting, feeding the animals, enjoying the train ride, tubing, zip lining, and exploring everything else the park had to offer. There were smiles from start to finish!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make Week 2 such a success. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back for our final week of summer activities—it’s going to be another one to remember! 🌞🎉

What a fantastic first week of our Summer Programme! 🌞🎨⚽

Our young people have had an amazing time getting involved in a range of fun activities, including creating colourful salt art, visiting local parks, taking part in sports, and spending time together making new memories.

To round off an incredible first week, we visited The Burrell Collection at Pollok Park, where everyone became secret spies for the day! 🕵️‍♀️🕵️‍♂️ They explored the museum, solved clues, discovered fascinating exhibits, and finished off the day with a well-deserved ice cream. 🍦

It’s been fantastic to see everyone having fun, building friendships, and making the most of their summer holidays. We can’t wait for another exciting week of activities!
