YST Programmes

YST is responsible for delivering a wide variety of programmes. Each programme will have its own methods of recruiting participants so, if you'd like to take part, simply click on any of the programmes listed and follow the joining instructions, or complete an expression of interest form.

We work on a huge range of programmes every year and this work can be divided into three categories of delivery:

In partnership - We deliver impactful collaborative programmes which are funded by corporate partners, trusts and foundations, government and other organisations working with us to further our shared goals.
On other's behalf - We undertake commissioned projects involving development work, delivery activities and/or research and insight. We do this with partners, businesses, National Governing Bodies (NGBs) and other organisations who target sporting activity at young people and want to maximise and quantify their impact.
Independently - We provide innovative products and services including YST Membership for schools, individuals, NGBs and businesses; training courses including e-learning; and innovative equipment.
