What’s Senior Club About?
Senior Club is open to young people aged 12-18, and up to 25 years of age for young people who need additional support. Senior Club sessions run on a Tuesday, Friday and Saturday evening, and Senior members are also able to access the gym on weekdays after school and Saturday mornings.
WHAT HAPPENS IN SENIOR CLUB?
During a Senior Club session, youth workers are there to provide a service that gives young people space and responsibility.
Each night, we have a variety of activities planned that members are able to join in with – but we also like to go with the flow on the night.
WHAT ELSE IS ON OFFER?
At CYZ, we don’t just run our open club sessions, senior members are also able to take part in
- ‘Get a Future’ – A programme based on creating opportunities for employment, raising aspirations and exploring career choices.
- Young Leaders – A programme based on getting young people into positive volunteering opportunities with CYZ.
- E3 – A programme aiding employability skills in young people through the delivery of sports leaders and employability qualifications.
