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)
Thank you for your interest in the Youth Engagement Project.
We continue to accept YEP Referral forms. Although there is a short waiting list for support, we encourage you to complete the form. We will be in touch as soon as possible regarding the next steps.
Please get in touch if you have any questions – we’re always happy to help.
Due to the volume of referrals that we are receiving and the capacity that we have available – referrals are temporarily closed.
We will be reopening our referral platform along with information detailing changes to our services on Monday 10 August 2026.
We appreciate your understanding and patience. Please contact us directly if you have any questions.
