For Young People
Hello and welcome!
Based at Craigroyston Community High School, MYDG is here for you.
We know that growing up in Muirhouse can be hard so we provide support in different ways:
Opportunities to get involved in a range of sports
Creative activities that you can lose yourself in
Separate boys and girls groups
Trips and outdoor education
Qualifications, traineeships and volunteering
Support with life transitions
MYDG’s base is a ‘safe space’ you can visit throughout the school day
If you’re struggling with something difficult we can walk alongside you
Weekly Programme
Our weekly programme includes swimming, football, basketball, sports for girls, separate boys and girls friendship groups, creative activities (jewellery making is new), under-12s groups and more.
2026 Summer Programme
2026’s summer programme is shaping up. So is our Youth Work Games being held at Wiston Lodge in Biggar from 14th to 16th July.
Youth Work Trainee roles
We have opportunities for youth work trainees which often lead to sessional staff roles.
Young Voices
We’re keen that you help us shape our programmes by telling us the things you enjoy and what else you’d like us to provide. We want to create a group of young people who help us with this regularly. And we’d like to give the group a chance to do some social media take-overs for MYDG. If you think you might want to get involved, speak to Sarah in the MYDG base.
A Young Person’s Story
"MYDG provided me a space to be young, feel normal, make friends, even when the world was caving in on me. MYDG is a place of laughter, always knowing that leaving MYDG was with a smile."
