Youth Opportunity Fund

Youth Opportunity Fund

The Kent Youth Opportunity Fund (YOF) is for young people to apply for things to do, places to go and supports the development of positive activities, encouraging young people to take part as decision makers, grant givers and project leaders with large budgets of more than £100,000.

YOF aims to give a voice to young people, particularly those hard to reach, in line with what they want in their communities. By conveying a powerful message to young people that their needs and aspirations are important, the fund provides opportunities to develop their confidence, knowledge, skills and abilities, gaining recognition and accreditation.
 
Ultimately, it is hoped that it will increase the well-being of young people and their engagement with services and with the democratic process at local level.
