Welcome to YMCA George Williams College

Read our 2023-28 Strategy, outlining our mission, vision, and plan to provide transformational support to all those working with and for young people in informal and non-formal learning settings.

Want to get to understand the importance of socio-emotional skills?

Join us for our free 'Measuring Socio-emotional Skills' training session on 22 March 2023. This half-day training session will enhance your understanding of socio-emotional skills, the importance of quality, and how to measure both using readily available tools. 

To complement our new Impact and Training Curriculum, we've launched online office hours! Drop us a line (officehours@Youthimpact.uk) if you'd like to schedule a call to chat through your evaluation challenges and questions about continuous quality improvement. Please provide a brief summary of your question or the thought you’d like support working through, and a member of our team will get in touch to finalise a time.

The YPQI was developed in the US, by the David P. Weikart Center for Youth Program Quality. Extensive research has demonstrated its effectiveness in improving outcomes for young people, promoting a sustainable and supportive culture of organisational reflection and improvement, and refocusing evaluation on the quality of relationships within different settings.
