YEP Drop in Sessions

Our Youth Engagement Project (YEP) drop‑in sessions are running across Cornwall throughout May, offering relaxed, supportive spaces for young people aged 16–24 who are not currently in education, employment, or training.

Sessions take place at locations including Liskeard Library and Chi Austell, with a range of organisations attending to provide advice on careers, apprenticeships, training opportunities, health, and wellbeing. There’s no need to book - young people can simply drop in, ask questions, and explore their next steps in a low‑pressure environment.
