Detached Youth Programme

This programme involves a team of Forthspring youth work volunteers and the youth worker going onto the streets and engaging with young people in the local area in meaningful relationships and group work.
The work of this programme has different stages and takes different forms. Initially, young people are engaged through on-the-street contact.
This relationship develops through regular contact, and the groups of young people are given the opportunity to engage in group work with the team.
This group work is designed in consultation with the young people, including materials around identity and non-violence.
In good weather this group work is carried out on the streets, providing young people with meaningful activity ideas.
Cross community group work happens in the Forthspring centre itself.
