About Manchester Youth Zone
Manchester Youth Zone offers young people aged 6-19 (up to 25 for those with additional needs) somewhere to go, something to do and someone to talk to. MYZ provides a safe, attractive, accessible and affordable place where young people can discover a world of possibilities.
SOMEWHERE TO GO.
A safe place that’s open when schools are shut. A place that’s got: a warm welcome, a bright lively environment and somewhere young people can take part in positive activities, make new friends, learn new skills and have new experiences.
SOMETHING TO DO.
We offer over 20 different activities per evening. Whether it’s having a roller disco, personal training in the gym, earning a bike by committing to our bike maintenance course or writing and performing plays, plus there’s a climbing wall, boxing gym, music room and much more in between!
SOMEONE TO TALK TO.
From relationships with Youth Workers on session, to one to one support from volunteer mentors – every voice is heard. There’s a real emphasis on offering young people positive role models and supporting their needs.
A WORTHWHILE CAUSE
Manchester Youth Zone is located in Harpurhey, the 2nd worst ward in England for the effect of long term deprivation on children, just outside Manchester city centre. Many in the surrounding area are vulnerable to poor educational attainment, future worklessness and to developing antisocial or offending behaviour.
