Our Offer TO YOUNG PEOPLE
In The Mix Project provides a range of services including open access and centre based youth provision to mobile/outreach delivery, positive activities, and targeted educational programmes. We work with young people to engage them in developmental and activity programmes that offer a range of social, economic, educational and recreational opportunities, designed to encourage social inclusion and life-long learning, helping to create both economic and social independence. Our delivery is participatory and will build confidence, life skills and self-value in individuals that is crucial to their personal development and integration as contributing members of society.
Other activities delivered through informal education opportunities include sessions relating to; healthy living, life balance, stress & mental health, rural & countryside skills, teamwork & leadership, education & employment, cooking and menu planning, finance & money matters, outdoor pursuits, personal well-being programmes, sexual health discussions, homework & school support, green & environmental activities, small group work, targeted 1-2-1 work, fitness & sport, and outdoor recreational activity.
Undertaking this core work has key benefits for young people and communities;
- through increasing local harmony and community dynamics,
- decreasing the risk of the migration of young people to larger towns, cities and other population centres,
- up-skilling young people and preparing them for the workforce
