IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MY WAY.
IN A NUTSHELL
Plymouth City Council’s Community Youth Team (CYT), delivers a wide range of youth work approaches across the city, including open-access sessions, targeted support, outreach, and wellbeing-focused projects.
Our mission is to empower young people aged 11–19 (and up to 25 for those with SEND or care experience) through inclusive, youth-led programmes that promote emotional wellbeing, personal development, and social connection.
Our role within the My Way partnership is to deliver early help and youth work-led wellbeing support. Rooted in youth work principles such as voluntary, relational, and empowerment, we ensure support is accessible, informal, and offers young people greater choice.
