Session and activity resources

Here we have a vast collection of downloadable resources to help YAC Leaders plan their sessions. These resources have been made by YAC, our friends and supporters over many years.

They include individual activities, session ideas, thematic and skills-based resource packs and support running online sessions.

We also have a number of larger project ideas that you might like to run with your branch.

Teachers and other group leaders are very welcome to use YAC’s resources too. Please consider making a donation to help us keep up the good work!
