Copenhagen Youth Project (CYP). By Youth. For Youth.

Copenhagen Youth Project (CYP) works in the Caledonian and Barnsbury Wards of London to engage, inform and provide children and young people aged 7-25 with choices supporting their individual learning and personal development. Through Sports, Arts, Mentoring and Culture, CYP engage and progress children and young people providing education, training and support, helping to raise achievement and levels of aspiration.

Why the community needs us

We are located in the North Kings Cross area of London, an area of both (long-term) high deprivation and affluence, with regeneration at its core. The young people we work with (320 in 2016), include those who are vulnerable, excluded or at risk of offending. 85% of the young people we work with are from BME backgrounds (year 2016). We carefully plan our activities to ensure that they are not simply diversionary, but act as a vehicle for focused work to progress young people.

Our impact on the community

"If it hadn't been for CYP I'd be broken. I would've lost my way." We want to create leadership opportunities for young people, so that with their input, together we can provide the best quality of service. Through this programme the young people begin to understand and support each other, decreasing anti-social behaviour, peer conflict and violence. We aim to build partnerships with other local organisations to strengthen our provision and impact for young people and the wider community.
