Charitable Objectives
Youthnet is a strategic network of voluntary youth organisations. It exists to represent support and develop the interests and aspirations of its membership, and to promote the independent voice of the voluntary youth sector.

It does this by:

• Providing support to member organisations which in turn advance the emotional, intellectual, physical, spiritual, social and political development of  children and young people.
• Providing information, training and guidance, which enhance the effectiveness of member organisations in promoting educational, social and leisure activities for the benefit of young people.
• Consulting with its membership
• Representing the voluntary youth work sector at policy level
• Researching into good practice and innovative youth work
• Providing a grant giving function
