The magazine, copies of which are still available, is based around young people's own stories and features about 50 projects. It details how young people are cleaning up beaches, teaching ICT to older people, tackling bullying, representing their peers, supporting abuse survivors, helping out at animal sanctuaries, developing facilities for other young people, campaigning against gun crime - and much more.
Carolyn Oldfield, co-editor of Youth-Action and deputy head of information services at The NYA, said: "YouthAction is a new magazine that shows what motivates young people to take action, what makes it work, and how they and their communities benefit. Its publication is timely: to support Volunteers' Week, but also to counter recent negative stereotyping of young people in the media. The testimonies in YouthAction support recent Home Office research that found that, contrary to some misconceptions, young people do play an active part in their communities and we are pleased to be able to help celebrate and raise the profile of their achievements."
