The organisation was founded in 1928,[1] building on the Bristol Boys & Girls Club.[2]

It now runs 21 youth clubs and provides day and residential activities including high ropes adventure, abseiling, archery, bushcraft, canoeing and kayaking. It is also a provider of activities under the National Citizen Service as a Local Delivery Partner.[3] One of the largest clubs is the Broad Plain Boys' Club where the building was adorned with a Banksy mural. This was later sold, with the permission of Banksy, to raise money for the club.[4] The records of many of the constituent clubs are held by Bristol Archives.[5]

It is a registered charity Number: 301681[6] and the local county organisation of the Boys and Girls Club National Association.[7] The headquarters is in the old fitre station, which is part of the same complex as the Central Police Station, a Grade II listed building in Silver Street.[8]

In March 2018 Young Bristol was shortlisted as a finalist in the local apprenticeship of the Year awards. In April 2018 Young Bristol announced that Jonathan Webb was taking over as the president of the organisation.[9]
