There are over 7000 groups/activities in Essex, with over 290,000 places for young people to join in! Find out about youth groups/ activities near you

The ‘default view’ of the Essex youth map shows you every group/activity on offer, but if you expand the map (the top right square on the map) you can see the menu better (top left square on the map). The menu will allow you to select a ‘layer’ that best reflects your interests (1.)Uniformed groups 2.)Physical activity 3.)Open access/special interest and support groups 4.)Vacancies)

If you would like to add your group to the map, or advertise a paid position, then please let us know https://ecvys.org.uk/youth-groups-across-essex/ if you would like to advertise a voluntary position then please contact Volunteer Essex https://www.volunteeressex.org/

If you are looking for a specific service such as counselling or therapy for young people in Essex rather than an activity/ group, then please have a look at the services available on Frontline as they may not be listed here www.essexfrontline.org.uk

Essex County Council also have a very useful directory of services that you may find useful when looking for specific support https://www.essex.gov.uk/children-young-people-and-families/find-support-services-children-and-their-families
