The DRC Youth Project (SCIO)

About

The DRC Youth Project is set up to improve the life chances of children and young people, particularly those affected by poverty, disadvantage and inequality. We work to support young people to build confidence, develop skills, improve wellbeing and progress into positive destinations such as education, training, volunteering and employment. We do this by providing accessible, community-based youth work, employability support and accredited learning opportunities. Our work includes one-to-one and group support, targeted programmes, volunteering pathways, skills development and partnership working with schools, employers and community organisations. We take a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach, ensuring young people are supported at their own pace and are actively involved in shaping their goals. Our services are designed to remove barriers, create opportunity and enable young people to achieve sustainable, positive outcomes.
