information DESCRIPTION

MYDG is a voluntary youth organisation based in Muirhouse, Edinburgh, an area of high unemployment, low educational achievement and social exclusion. MYDG works with young people aged 8 - 25 years around sports and outdoor activities as well as issue based work. We run open provision, drop ins, groups for girls, sports clubs, volunteering courses and training and residentials.

What MYDG stands for is exactly what its initials signify – for youth, for their development, through being an ongoing, open, outwardly-facing group, rooted in the community of Muirhouse and its adjacent areas of North Edinburgh. Fundamental to MYDG is the building and maintaining of relationships with young people, as they grow up in Muirhouse.

The result of the standing of MYDG within its community is that young people within MYDG feel respected and included, and their journey to adulthood is supported, filled with opportunities, worthwhile experiences and good memories. It is not surprising that they are then willing and able to give something of themselves to support others.
