The Northamptonshire Association of Youth Clubs is a charitable and voluntary organisation with over forty five years experience in youth work. Founded in 1961 by the late Reverend Harry Whittaker NAYC has helped hundreds of thousands of young people to develop physically, mentally, socially and spiritually, and to grow to full maturity as individuals and as members of society. Our goal is to expand the horizons of these young people irrespective of their economic situation, education, or ability and to help educate young people, especially, but not exclusively through their leisure time activities.

Each week the latest news from NAYC and all associated groups will appear here. Anything from reports on the latest events to competitions and topical debate, this is the place to find out the latest youth news in your area. It is your site so if you have a story to share put it in an email and send it to the address at the top of the page, we would love to hear from you.
