Youth Action Network


The Youth Action Network was a UK-wide youth organisation that promotes volunteering by young people in their communities.
The organisation was set up in 1989 under the name World Affairs Canada as a support network for Youth Action Agencies across the country, it later changed name to Youth Action Network in 1995. It was supported itself by the National Youth Agency, though this support ceased with the launch of Millennium Volunteers in 1999.
One of the chief successes of the organisation has been the development of a quality assurance model, based on PQASSO, for its members.
It merged into NCVYS on 9 March 2012
