Homes for Young People

Homes for Young People

YMCA Milton Keynes welcomes young adults aged between 18-35 and exists to help young people to belong, contribute and thrive.  We understand the importance of creating a supportive environment for residents living on campus to ensure they:

• Feel at home – We strive to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where residents feel like they belong the moment they step through our door.
• Feel safe and secure – Ensuring the safety and security of our residents is a top priority, providing peace of mind as they navigate their daily lives.
• Form good relationships – Our dedicated staff team are committed to forming meaningful connections with residents, fostering a sense of community and support.
• Find meaning and purpose – We believe in helping young people find meaning and purpose in their lives, this could mean going back to learning, volunteering or supporting them to find a job that they are passionate about.

Over 3 years and 3 stages YMCA MK provides residents with a safe place to call home and holistic support to achieve their potential.

From housekeeping to housing coaches, finance to fundraising everyone has a role to play in supporting the young people living at YMCA MK. The young person who ‘graduates’ YMCA MK is likely to be a very different person to the young person who arrived.

Young people are at the heart of everything that we do, and we follow a clear vision and mission to ensure that we always put young people first.
