Youth Sport Trust and YMCA join forces
Youth Sport Trust (YST) and YMCA have today (Tuesday 16 October) announced a new partnership designed to enhance both organisations' reach within schools and communities.
The joint venture will see YST being able to access YMCA's extensive community network of clubs for young people.
YMCA will benefit from making its apprenticeships schemes, training courses and its awarding body arm more available for school leavers.
Speaking at the School Sport Conference at the Kettering Conference Centre today, John Steele, chief executive of YST said: "This new partnership with the YMCA allows us to extend our reach beyond the school gates and work with an organisation that is as driven as us to give every young person a positive start in life.
"We want to capitalise on this remarkable year for sport and reach as many young people as possible through our work, which is why this partnership is so exciting."
Jonathan Martin, chair of the YMCA's Physical Activity Steering Committee, added: "This is a really exciting partnership for us. Our work focuses on communities but obviously the school environment has a huge influence on young people."
