Youth Service Mission Statement
The Youth Service and its delivery partners will work with a wide range of young people while maintaining a particular focus on those who need additional support.
The Youth Service, with its delivery partners, will enable young people to:
- be emotionally and physically healthy, supporting them through adolescence to make a successful transition to adulthood
- act as volunteers/active citizens, have their voices heard and make a real contribution to the Service and society.
- improve their life chances through meeting challenges and learning to manage risk safely
- build high expectations and be able to make positive informed choices about their future
- have opportunities to develop skills while having fun and making friends
Outcomes
Young People access enjoyable, positive and challenging experiences which will improve confidence, develop self-esteem and resilience whilst enhancing life skills. Young people gain accreditation for social and emotional skills developed through informal learning opportunities.
