YouthNet

YouthNet launched in 1995 as the internet was beginning to take hold. We were the first exclusively online charity, and today our mission remains the same. YouthNet aims to create a socially inclusive environment where young people living in the UK are engaged, informed and inspired to achieve their ambitions and dreams. We deliver high-quality information, signposting and frontline emotional support primarily through the internet, but increasingly through mobile phones, digital interactive TV and hand-held devices – the tools that are central to the way young people communicate. We do this mainly through our two websites: TheSite.org, a guide to life for 16-25 year-olds; and do-it.org.uk, home of the UK's only national volunteering database. At 10 years-old, we're still a young charity, but we're proud of our achievements. In this time we've formed groundbreaking partnerships, developed our very own software, helped to inspire people from diverse backgrounds to volunteer, and given millions of young people the advice and support they need to live their lives with confidence.
