Young Citizens is the trading name of the Citizenship Foundation, a UK charity that has been helping young people to make informed decisions, take responsible action in their lives and get ready to shape the world they live in since 1989.
Young Citizens aims to enable and encourage young people across the UK to actively participate in, and make a positive difference to the societies in which they live. We do this by empowering children and young people with the knowledge, skills, confidence and enthusiasm they need.
This website by Young Citizens is designed to help develop the legal capability of young people and support their understanding of how the law touches every aspect of their life by:
- Providing authentic citizenship experiences through the Mock Trial competitions
- By brokering specialist intermediaries into classrooms via Experts in Schools.
- Providing quality-assured public legal education resources
