About Us
Choose2 provides a wide range of activities and opportunities for young people in York and North Yorkshire, thanks to its team of youth workers. Contact us to find out more about our work and the social and personal development opportunities we offer.
Our History as a Social Enterprise
Choose2 was set up by Rachel, Steve and Zoe. All come from a youth work background and have over 50 collective years of experience working with young people and adults with disabilities and additional needs. Rachel, Steve and Zoe aim to use their knowledge and experience to create purposeful opportunities that meet each individual's needs.
We are a not for profit social enterprise working with and supporting children, young people and adults with disabilities and additional needs across York and North Yorkshire. We offer a variety of programmes, activities and sessions.
As a not for profit organisation we reinvest any profit back into the company so that we can increase our offer and buy any specialist equipment to enhance our members experience whilst working with us.
