JYCA was set up 2007 by young people who sought to provide a support network for young people in Islington. It has done this through connecting young people together through sports, mentoring, practical advice and guidance and giving young people a platform to speak.

Over the years JYCA has worked collaboratively with Listen Up, Islington Faith Forum, Lift/platform Youth hubs, Prince Trust, Islington Council, Arsenal in the Community, access to sports MuslimWelfare House and Finsbury Park Mosque which aims to give young people a voice about issues affecting them in the current socio-political context and to have an impact on decision-makers.

Jubba is a group of young people living in Islington who have come together and set up their own youth led organisation. We currently work with over 200 young people from the community to develop their skills and confidence through sports, culture and mentoring. We campaign on issues important to young people and work in partnership with statutory, community and faith organisations.
Jubba Youth promotes high achievement amongst refugee communities, specifically youths. The project aims to bring a divided community together, promoting unity and respect. Through engaging with these exclude young people we aim to improve the quality of their lives and their life chances.
