Copenhagen Youth Project

What We Do

Our mission is to engage and inform children and young people to provide them with choices supporting their individual learning and personal development.

We provide a safe, caring, youth-led space for disadvantaged young people where they can learn, develop and build towards a brighter future. Having started out 20 years ago as a grassroots local effort to tackle problems faced and expressed by local children and young people, we have developed into an established local charity with a strong track record, supported by a number of long-term funders.

Testimonials

“I started CYP in a shell and I was quite shy, through the years at CYP. I have been exposed to so many different people, I’ve been able to develop skills and get jobs with CYP and I can say that I love volunteering for the same reason, to give opportunities to young people that I have had in the past.”

“CYP has increased my confidence and boosted me to achieve my life goals. The people that attend and work there support me whenever needed and make me feel as if I can be myself when in CYP. I would say most of my best memories growing up are down to the community that is CYP.”

Because of CYP my sons’ gain independence and guidance to stay out of trouble from the area. CYP is a wonderful project and I am extremely thankful that my children are lucky to be able to attend.

It’s been a pleasure to fund CYP’s ‘Trauma Informed Outreach Programme’. The charity responded to new needs induced by lockdown, leading to improved mental health and access to crisis services for vulnerable young people.
