LYG33

LYG33 is a youth engagement and leadership programme that empowers young Londoners to influence the future of London Youth Games and sport.

By supplying a platform for young people to display their passions and abilities, this programme encourages and nurtures 14-21 year olds from London to develop themselves and influence the future of London Youth Games and youth sport in London. The programme builds their confidence, leadership skills, and sense of community investment. Through participating in LYG33, young people can build lasting relationships with their peers, coaches, and mentors, and learn valuable life skills that will serve them well in the future.​

We deeply value the voices of young people and recognise the importance of including them in internal decision-making processes. By involving young Londoners directly, we ensure that our initiatives remain relevant and accessible. Through LYG33, they consult with senior leaders and actively shape the organisation, with our commitment to embedding their influence at the heart of London Youth Games to drive meaningful change.
