The Youth Service delivers informal education programmes through a wide-ranging curriculum that facilitates personal and social development. Programmes are delivered through centres, schools and projects throughout Thurrock. The target age group for our work is 13-19 years, including some work with up to 25 year olds.

Youth Services are delivered through seven static sites that include four Youth Development Centres and three Youth Centres, which are the main delivery points for a range of programmes.

Outreach work is undertaken with young people in a further six communities, including special events and activities during each school holiday period, organised with young people and youth workers.
