What will you get for your membership of PYL?
Get informed: We can help keep every level of your organisation informed and up to date with our weekly email update which is often the first with news, publications, policy, funding, resources, opportunities for practitioners and young people.
Get involved: Come along to our round table meetings to make sure you’re constantly improving your knowledge and finding out examples of best practice and resources available to you. One of our most recent members told us "My colleagues and I in the Youth Support Service find the 'round table' meetings particularly useful for sharing good practice and keeping up to date with the latest developments and colleagues from other boroughs".
Get funded: Save yourself time trawling the net and use our online funding directory that is updated regularly with all sorts of funding opportunities.
Network: Use our contact list to network with other members and work collaboratively.
Stay plugged in: Sign up to our newly-developed learning networks to learn, develop and share good practice with colleagues from other organisations. Take away knowledge and resources gained to share amongst your own organisation.
Keep up to date: Practice focused seminars for major policy changes or essential information will be twice a year, and we will issue a certificate of attendance for CPD purposes.
Use our resources: With our ever expanding online resources: policy and toolkit library and events calendar, we are an invaluable information source for the sector.
Get heard: We submit responses to consultations, and our members have the opportunity to lead and contribute to these. You will find that membership of PYL provides opportunities for getting involved in wider initiatives throughout the capital, and for sharing practice with other members.
