About us
Our commitment to youth work is unwavering. We understand that young people need support and guidance to achieve their goals, and we are proud to offer that support through our programs and services. From our engaging clubs to our mentoring support, we strive to be a positive force in the lives of young people. We reach over 225 young people a month through our in-school services, mentoring, and Shed based activities and events. We believe that building strong relationships is key to helping young people succeed, and we work hard to foster those connections every day.
Pilot Project
AN INITIATIVE FROM THE PUPILS, FOR THE PUPILS
This group was devised from the request and needs of young people to be given more intentional and relevant support to their upcoming transition to employment, studies, and independent living. Having carried out feedback sessions amongst various S6 pupils over the past few years it was recognised that there was an increasing sense of feeling unprepared for leaving school. Whether there were those who knew the courses they wanted to do but were struggling with the thoughts of independent living, or what options were out there, or those who didn’t want to pursue further studies but were unsure on what to do with their time, we have been able to provide support for any that fall in any category.
Mentoring
Our youth team is made up of those who are passionate about helping people navigate the challenges of growing up. We understand that life can be tough, and that sometimes it can be hard to know where to turn for help. That's why we're here. Whether you're struggling with schoolwork, feeling overwhelmed by family issues, or just need someone to talk to, we're here to listen. Our team is committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and emotions. So if you're feeling lost or alone, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to help you through challenges you may be facing.
Thursday Lunch Drop-Ins at The Nicolson
Every Thursday during lunchtime, our youth team makes it a priority to visit the Nicolson Institute to connect with the students and offer our support. We understand that school can be a challenging time for many students, and we want to be there in any way we can. We believe that by providing a listening ear and a friendly face, we can make a positive impact on the lives of these young individuals. In addition to chatting with students during lunchtime, we also offer the option to schedule a meeting outside of school if necessary. We want to ensure that every student knows that they have someone to turn to when they need it most.
Thursday Youth Nights
Thursday Youth Nights are a great place for S1-S6 students to unwind after a long week of school. Our Youth Nights run from 7:30PM-9:30PM, giving students plenty of time to enjoy the various activities available. Whether you're into board games, gaming systems, or pool, there's something for everyone. The tuck shop is also a popular spot, offering a variety of snacks and drinks to keep you fuelled throughout the night. But more than just that, Youth Nights are a great opportunity to meet new people and socialize with friends. So come on down and join the fun! In addition to the regular nights, we also feature a themed night once a month, adding an extra layer of excitement. Whether it's a costume party or a trivia night, the themed events are always a hit among students. So mark your calendars and get ready for a night of fun and games!
