The Avenues Youth Project

The Avenues Youth Project provides a wide range of activities and projects for young people to participate in. Its youth workers regularly support young people with CV writing, job applications, references, interview skills and other support. They also encourage young people to remain in school or college and support them with college applications, providing evidence of their achievements within the club to support any applications they make.

Projects are used as a way of getting key messages across to its members in a non-threatening way:

• sexual health
• drugs education
• healthy eating
• speaking and listening skills

The project is for young people in the area aged 9 - 21. A number of sessions are run during the week:

• Girl's Group
