About Gibraltar Youth Service
The Gibraltar Youth Service is a Government of Gibraltar department established in 1963, with over 60 years of experience supporting young people across the community. We provide safe, inclusive environments where young people can access guidance, opportunities, and support that contribute positively to their personal development and community life.
The Gibraltar Youth Service provides opportunities for young people to grow, learn, and be themselves in safe, supportive spaces.
Mission Statement
Voluntary Participation
Access
Voice
Young people choose to engage with the Youth Service freely and on their own terms. Participation is never forced, and young people can step in, step back, or re-engage at any point.
We work to remove barriers and promote fair, equitable access to opportunities, support, and spaces for all young people, regardless of background or circumstance.
Young people are listened to, taken seriously, and supported to express their views, influence decisions, and shape the services and opportunities that affect them.
Informal Learning
We support learning through relationships, experiences, and real-life situations, helping young people develop skills, confidence, and understanding in ways that feel relevant and meaningful.
Belonging
We create safe, respectful spaces where young people feel accepted, valued, and able to be themselves, fostering positive relationships and a sense of connection.
Expression
We create opportunities for young people to express themselves creatively, share ideas, and explore who they are in ways that feel safe, respected, and authentic.
