The Essex Youth Service is Open!

They will be running online activities for you via Zoom. You can access Zoom from the internet or you can download the Zoom app.

Check out the descriptions of our Zoom sessions to find the perfect one for you and book.

These online activities are for young people aged 13-19 years, or up to 25 with additional needs (some activities for younger people where stated). Each session will last approximately 30 minutes. You can apply for any session, however, for those with a star you will need to email in to enquire about joining this group as there may be criteria for your attendance.
