What We Do
The youth workers organise and facilitate community programmes aimed at young people aged between 10 and 17. These programmes support young people to explore and understand their ideas, values and beliefs, building their confidence and life skills so that they can make a successful transition to adulthood. Youth work relies on voluntary engagement by young people. Fundamental to youth work is the development of a relationship that is based on trust in order to support and empower young people.
The youth workers work in a variety of settings, including:
- The SNAP YOUTH CLUB
- Schools
- Streets and Recreational Grounds; delivering detached youth work and sports work for young people who prefer the outdoors.
