Real support. No pressure. Your next step, your way
This project provides help and support for young people aged 16-24 who aren't working, in school, or training. It also supports those who might soon be in this situation.
Cornwall Council delivers this project. We work with community-based partners who help to build confidence, resilience, and skills. YEP, helps young people in Cornwall plan their futures.
We offer tailored support for young people including those with:
- Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and
- Social Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH)
Important Notice: YEP Referrals
Thank you for your interest in the Youth Engagement Programme (YEP).
Due to the volume of referrals we are receiving, there may be a slight delay in us being able to get intervention to all Young People as quickly as we would like. Any referrals received will be acknowledged promptly and you may be placed on a short waiting list. One of the contact team will be in touch to discuss your support requirements.
We appreciate your understanding and patience. Please get in touch if you have any questions – we’re always happy to help.
