Dorset Youth Association is a brand that values, supports, and champions the local voluntary sector, with a strong focus on strengthening our local communities. We are dedicated to individuals and organizations working with children, young people, and families, offering a range of purposeful services. For young people aged 11-25, we provide resources such as finding activities and organizations, as well as dedicated hubs for mental health and neurodiversity/SEND support.

Parents and carers can also find tailored information for children aged 0-5 and 6+, including neurodiversity/SEND resources. We also offer a Knowledge Hub, where the visibility of charities, voluntary, and community groups in Dorset is raised. Additionally, we provide support, training, and updates through our 0-25 VCS Forum, as well as dedicated assistance for youth clubs and groups.

With our personable, practical, and purposeful approach, Dorset Youth Association strives to create a legacy for Dorset's youth. Contact us for further information or to get involved in our mission
