The charity, which offers support and advice to young people, plans to use the cash to pay for four new staff members for three years.
A youth information and support development worker, two trainee support development workers and an administrator will be appointed.
They will run drop-in sessions and after-school workshops, addressing personal, social and health issues.
Ledbury Youth First is a voluntary youth organisation for young people aged 11-25 in the Ledbury area.
Youth work projects include information and support service for young people, drug information and support and Ledbury Youth Council (LYNX).
