concordia (youth service volunteers) ltd
Concordia is a charity based in Brighton. Our mission is to support people to
develop skills and gain experiences so that they can thrive. We run programmes
that change lives and nurture global citizens who care about each other, their
local communities and the world. We are part of a global community – we work
with partners and people from all over the world. All our projects are impactful
- whether they are just up the road from us or on the other side of the world.
We do this by working with local communities delivering programmes that respond
to local needs. Concordia was founded in 1943 to recruit volunteer labour to
encourage peace and reconciliation in the aftermath of the Second World War.
Since then, Concordia has supported around three-quarters of a million people to
undertake incredible programmes that support local communities all over the
world. Our work as a charity supplies five core services: CYA (Concordia Youth
Action), International Volunteering, NCS (National Citizens Service), Seasonal
Workers Programme and our Wellbeing Programme. Although all our programmes vary,
they are all motivated by our desire to make the world a better place. CYA
(Concordia Youth Action) Concordia works to improve local communities across
Sussex. The young people we work with locally are passionate about making
positive change and we help them do so. Launched in 2020, Concordia Youth Action
(CYA) is a programme of blended volunteering (on and offline sessions and social
action) that enables young people in the UK to engage with their local community
through regular volunteering and skills sessions. As an official partner of the
National Skills Builder Programme, our CYA programmes improve participant’s
transferable skills, supports engagement and improvement of the local community,
and develops citizenship.
