About Macclesfield Youth Achievement Foundation (MYAF)

Run by the Cheshire based Youth Federation, MYAF is a thriving centre of learning excellence created to give students who might otherwise be NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) a fresh start, a positive learning environment and specialist-trained support.

MYAF offer students an informal, personalised programme five days a week, giving them a standard of education that is nationally recognised, accredited and measurable, delivered via the Youth Achievement Award framework.

• Vocational learning

• Skills development

• Measurable progress

• Recognised qualifications

• Increased employability

MYAF is here to help young people between 13 to 19, and, with the right learning programme, put them back on the road to success.

Each and every student is treated as an individual who deserves the best that we can do for them. The warm, friendly, supportive atmosphere creates a real MYAF family, in which all are recognised as unique human beings with their own gifts and abilities.

• We aim to give each student an excellent education in a wide range of subjects
• We provide an environment in which our students can flourish and enjoy a sense of personal fulfilment
• We nurture individual talents and interests, and self-confidence, self-reliance and initiative are all encouraged
• We offer a whole range of extra-curricular activities, with particular emphasis on creativity, sports and practical skills
• Students have access to their own ‘mentor’, a community volunteer chosen because they enjoy their company and can act as a positive role model.
