Youth Development Leader : Andrew Wilson

Youthstart is BYDP's part of the district-wide Recharge project, which aims to help young people who are Not in Education, Employment or Training or are at risk of becoming NEET.  In 2010-2011 Youthstart worked with 34 young people facing a range of disadvantages and helped them to build up a portfolio of achievements and accreditation.

A typical Youthstart 12-week programme covers Health & Fitness, Diet & Nutrition, Equal Opportunities and Awarweness of Drugs and Alcohol. We also offer Music and DJ sessions, Sports and Games, and assistance with improving CVs and interview skills.

Previous Youthstart groups have visited local colleges and other places that might interest young people on the course. A key feature of the Youthstart course is that it is flexible so it can adapt to YOUR needs and interests.

If you think the Youthstart programme could be for you or for someone you know, please feel free to ring us or e-mail andrew@bydp.co.uk
