Intercultural Youth Scotland (IYS) is Scotland’s major voice for Black and People of Colour (PoC) children and young people. Established three years ago as a small anti-racist youth work organisation, we have grown to a team of over 30 staff members – many of us Black and PoC young people ourselves. We aim to make IYS a community, a support and a champion for all Black and PoC children and young people in Scotland.

We centre anti-racism and the experiences of Black and PoC young people in schools, at work and in personal lives through our Mental Health Service and our Education, Restless Natives, and Youth Work programmes. Our governmental and sectoral advocacy is an extension of these priorities, and focuses on upending the entrenched inequalities and structural exclusion that have cut Black and PoC young people out of decision-making that shapes our lives. When IYS join these spaces of decision-making, we are often the only people present directly engaged and connected into the lives of Black and PoC young people. Our growing presence in Scotland emanates from this unique position – as both an advocacy organisation and a community organisation.
