What we do?
The service provides programmes of group and individual activities, which encourage personal and social development of young people 13-19 years old (up to 24 years old for young people with disabilities). These programmes are provided through youth centres and projects located across the borough. Many of the activities are nationally accredited.
Youth and Connexions offers a variety of fun and positive experiences for young people 13 - 19 years through:
Young people, supported by youth workers have the chance to:
- Develop their skills
- Increase their knowledge
Youth work develops young people's:
- Self confidence
Self esteem
Youth work helps young people grow into responsible adults through exciting and challenging projects.
Youth work is different from most other approaches to work with young people in that it starts with the young person's interests and abilities and works to develop them through a wide range of programmes.
The youth work curriculum covers a range of themes:
- Health
- Community safety
- Environment/outdoor education
- Creative and expressive arts
- Employment and training
- Community cohesion
- Personal development
eg communication, problem
solving skills
