Whether you’re looking for somewhere that posts hundreds of youth opportunities, or an organisation you can join to take part in projects, events, and campaigns — we’ve pulled together the best places to start.
Why Pathfinder Exists
Finding your way into opportunities can feel like being caught in a storm of scattered options and mixed directions. With so many websites and routes pulling you in different ways, it’s easy to lose sight of what really matters for your next step.
Pathfinder is your signpost. We’ve scouted the landscape to map out trusted, values-aligned organisations and platforms that deliver for young people. Some showcase opportunities from across the UK; others run programmes, events, or campaigns you can join directly.
This isn’t a full listings board, it’s your starting point. A place to find clearer directions and take charge of your journey, so you spend less time searching and more time moving.
It’s part of our mission to make youth development more equitable, more accessible, and rooted in the real journeys of today’s young people.

Are you an organisation that shares or provides opportunities for youth?
Pathfinder is a curated map of trusted, youth-friendly platforms. We’re always scouting for organisations that align with our mission of making opportunities more equitable and accessible. If your organisation directly reaches young people with opportunities, programmes, or resources — and does so openly, without barriers like fees or referral-only access — we’d love to hear from you.
We can’t include everyone, and we keep Pathfinder selective to ensure clarity and quality. But, even if Pathfinder isn’t the suitable fit right now, your submission helps us learn more about what’s out there and where you might connect with YOUTHOOD in other ways.
