Our Mission
We work in partnership with numerous bodies and educational establishments to deliver a programme which meets the needs of disengaged young people, to change their lives through the development of key life skills, and engage them back into society. The success of the programme will be measured through the evidence of change within key skill areas. We will be led by the following core principles:
- To change lives through activity and participation
- To be sustainable
- To build effective partnerships to create a world class education initiative
- To be knowledge based
- To nurture now for the future
Who are the target audience?
The programme will be aimed at young people in secondary school education who would be more suited to an alternative provision to mainstream school. We envisage over time the programme will be expanded to support a wider disengaged community.
