Real support. No pressure. Your next step, your way

YEP is a project that has supported hundreds of young people in Cornwall. Young people with additional needs and who face challenges.

This project provides help, support and opportunities for young people aged 16-24 who are not working, in education, or training and living in Cornwall. The project helps young people overcome challenges and achieve their goals.

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 and feel ready.

We offer tailored support for all young people that need it.

This project is being delivered as part of a Randomised Controlled Trial. This is a type of research study that helps us understand whether a project or service makes a positive difference.
