Youth work: finding your own way

Looking for a place where you can meet others, be active or talk to someone? Welzijn Lelystad 's youth work is there for young people in Lelystad who want to find their own way.

What do you get out of youth work?

The youth work programme is for young people who want to get on with their lives independently but might need a bit of support from time to time. Perhaps you’d like to expand your social network, work on your self-confidence or simply take part in activities in your neighbourhood. Our youth workers will tailor their support to your needs.

For example:

  • You can take part in sports and group activities in your neighbourhood.
  • Do you have access to a youth centre and the girls’ club?
  • You are always welcome to drop in for a chat or some advice.
  • We’re here to help if you have any questions about school, work, money or home life.
  • You can meet us on the street, at school and online

Permanent activities youth work

There are regular activities you can take part in. No registration is required. For activities marked with an asterisk, the youth worker would appreciate it if you could let them know in advance that you’re coming.

Youth workers can be found in the neighbourhoods of Lelystad every day between 1.00 pm and 9.30 pm. We look forward to seeing you there!
