established and developed innovative and creative youth work
processes, and is now looking to fill this position with a person of
leadership and vision.
We are committed to developing best practice that meets the needs of
young people, supports community development, and realise social
change in the wider society. This is done through a range of
methodologies and programme responses such as educational support,
arts, critical social education, developmental and recreational
processes ? which are designed to suit the individual/group needs of
young people and in particular those most at risk.
The Project believes in the value of education and part of the
community-based work consists of two Homework clubs where the work
concentrates on community-based homework club support, developmental
and arts-based programmes. We believe in the transformative power of
art and creativity as a way of working with children and young people.
The work is also committed to social justice around questions of
access to education, where children and young people are encouraged to
participate and achieve within the education system to the best of
their ability and potential.
