Activities
'It carries out activities or services itself'
'the advancement of citizenship or community development','the promotion of equality and diversity','the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage'
Intercultural Youth Scotland (IYS) delivers programs aimed at supporting ethnic minority young people and in particular Black young people and young people of colour (BPoC) from disadvantaged socio - economic communities. Our dedication to our young people, the communities of Scotland and to making tangible and lasting change continues to be a driving force for all our work. We work to achieve our mission through a robust series of services aimed at supporting the diverse and often times intersectional needs of young people of colour in Scotland. Our work is led by staff and board that is as diverse as the young people we serve. When IYS was founded, it was led largely by the young people for young people. As the organisation has grown, IYS has been working to become a more professionalised place, still putting young people at the forefront but with the aim of creating a structure that ensures the organisation’s long-term stability.
Beneficiaries: 'Children or young people','Other defined groups','No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'
Objectives: 4. The organisation’s purposes are: 4.1. To advance the citizenship of young people aged 12-25 through the provision of social action projects, campaigns and other activities to support young people in their rights, responsibilities and local communities. 4.2. To promote equality and diversity through the provision of awareness raising activities that focus on young people’s traditions and cultural heritage with a view to addressing inequality and seeking inclusivity in society. 4.3. To provide relief for those young people who are in need by reason of disadvantage through the provision of age appropriate activities that focus on social and personal development. 4.4.
