YOUTH OPPORTUNITY FUND / YOUTH CAPITAL FUND

The aim of the youth opportunity fund is to involve young people in identifying positive activities and things to do, and to support their role as decision makers, grant givers and project leaders. They should be encouraged to consider local needs and circumstances in shaping provision for young people beyond their immediate group.

The youth capital fund is to provide a discreet capital budget for a two year period to be spent on what young people want. Young people should be actively involved in decisions, with emphasis on those who are disadvantaged, including all aspects of planning, delivery, monitoring and the evaluation of the fund.
