The NYA is the statutory organisation for youth work and training in England and Wales, dedicated to providing effective work opportunities for the development of the nation’s future workforce.
Under the partnership, NYA will connect its digital youth work programmes with YGAM’s evidence-informed training, providing youth workers with practical tools to better understand and respond to the risks associated with gaming and online gambling.
