Resumo: We work with young people aged 11-25. The service has 22 full time staff working on a variety of different areas.

The Youth Service works in partnership with local groups and individuals, creating opportunities for community action and development through supporting activities for young people.

The Youth Service has a tradition of providing opportunities, training and support for local volunteers to work with young people and has hosted EVS volunteers for over 7 years. There is a team of dedicated youth workers based in a youth centre from which some of the EVS volunteers will work.

The youth service provides a number of opportunities for young people to get involved in such as sports, outdoor activities, youth exchanges, digilabs, Eurodesk, issues based workshops and so on.

The EVS volunteers will have the opportunity to work in all these areas to identify specific interests. In addition to this there are volunteering opportunities to assist polish and portugeuse children and young people in local schools, with the option of also getting involved with youth service activities.


Treharris Boys and Girls club is the oldest Boys club in Wales. It was founded in 1923 by The Ocean Coal Company and was built as a meeting place for young miners. It has been the hub of the community for many years and has played a vital part in events that have affected the community over the years. It has been re-built twice since first opening. It is situated on the old Deep Navigation colliery site. Treharris Boys and Girls club offers the community a full time community provision.

The club is used as a base for a Treharris Day Care Centre through Social Services, The Princes Trust programme is run from the club and Adult education classes are also offered to the community. We also run a parent and toddler group 2 mornings a week. We have fully equipped dormitory facility which is ideal for exchanges and residentials. Community meetings and events for young people are also held at the club.

The club is a partnership between the youth service, the Boys and Girls club and the local community. The new building which re-opened in 2005 offers the community a purpose built facility. It provides excellent opportunities and allows a varied programme of activities for both young people and the community as a whole. The club has a varied agenda which reaches out the most of the community. There are many different partnership organisations and services, which are run from the building. The club has excellent facilities, which include a sports hall, Digi Lab and a games room.

The building is a purpose built youth facility and offers many opportunities for members. A varied programme is delivered dependant on the needs of the young people. Regular consultation is undertaken to ensure the young people’s needs are met.

The Youth Provision is open three evenings per week, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 6.15pm-8.15pm so volunteer must be prepared to do evening work.
