YFC is unique because it is run by its members. Club members have a great sense of ownership, as they are the people who look after and manage their own club. You can be a club officer, help to organise things, make suggestions, and see your ideas come to life.

East Riding YFC County Office supports the 15 clubs in the county. Most clubs also have associate members who offer advice in the running of the clubs. Assistance with issues such as Child Protection, Drugs and Alcohol and Health and Safety implementation are also provided via the County Executive Committee.

"The more you put in, the more you get out of YFC!"

We give everyone the opportunity to make new friends, learn new skills and improve their social life!
