Young Leaders Programme

The project will engage with identified young people aged between 16 and 29 year olds and take them through a series of activities that will raise aspirations, encourage positive choice making and provide through direction and mentoring a positive route towards Employment or Further Education. With an improvement of service user's economic situations, this should deter engagement of knife crime related activities, reducing involvement in violent incidents. We also expect to see improved social integration and willingness to engage with wider statutory services.
