The Youth Adventure Trust programmes are about building confidence and resilience, trying something different, and meeting new people. As your time with YAT comes to an end, we hope you’ll look forward to new challenges, feel ready to give different things a go, and build on your experiences by getting involved in things that interest you in the Somerset area.
There’s lots of different options; from youth groups and creative clubs, to sports teams and award schemes. You may even be able to go on an adventure expedition, or become a volunteer helping other people out.
Follow the links to help you make contact with other youth organisations, or get in touch with the YAT team if you’d like to have a chat about what you could do next.
Don’t forget you can visit our Help Hub for advice on getting support if you’re worried about anything. There’s also a section for parents and carers with advice on things like mental health, social media awareness and more.
