Youth Development

Young tree hugger

We believe that young people are part of the solution to improving disadvantaged areas and we help them to participate in their local communities.

Working with schools, colleges, youth groups and after school clubs, we co-ordinate a range of projects including:

  • Citizenship and alternative curriculum programmes
  • Improving schools grounds
  • Environmental youth work
  • Environmental education
  • Education for sustainable development (e.g. waste and recycling projects)
  • Youth consultation

We also give young people opportunities to take part in training and gain the expertise for work. And, we work with schools to support ‘at risk’ young people, providing practical activities and programs to promote self confidence and teamwork.
