Wales YFC
Wales YFC is a national youth voluntary organisation for young people living in predominantly rural areas. Since its establishment in 1936 Wales YFC has evolved and now seeks to meet the needs of rural young people through educational, training and social programmes that encourage community involvement and concern for our environment. Wales YFC is an umbrella body for 12 of the County YFC Federation in Wales (who are affiliated to the National Federation – NFYFC) in which there are approximately 160 clubs and around 6,000 members.
Through participative youth work the organisation will:
- Enable young people to make decisions, both within YFC and beyond, on issues which affect their lives,

- Provide a framework within which young people can learn and become more involved as members of society.
As a member of YFC, young people will:
- Meet people of their own age,
