Young People Flourish (YPF)
YPF is a Glasgow City Council Funded Project The project is also supported by other short term / Activity specific Funding
The project works with Black & Ethnic Minority Young People (Aged 10yrs – 25yrs) with a specific focus on Pollokshields & Govanhill. We also work with the Roma Community within schools in the Pollokshields & Govanhill area.
The Project delivers a wide range of Activity across both communities & 3 Local Secondary Schools
This Includes General Youth Work Activities From: Young Men & Women’s Groups, Youth Clubs, Campfire Sessions to sporting & creative Activities. We also Run & Support Holiday Programmes & Specific Thematic programmes e.g. Fireworks Prevention, Drugs Education
The Project also delivers detached Street work sessions (Area Partnerships) engaging Young People disengaged from activity which may lead to Anti-Social Behaviour or other concerning behaviours. Street Work staff engage Young People in Conversation around a wide range of issues, this includes Employability, Mental Health & Wellbeing. Staff also engage in crisis interventions with young people. This can include Violence / Drugs & Alcohol / Family & Mental Health issues
We also deliver a School Specific Programme – Living Your Best Life. Which seeks to support participants in addressing the realities of their Lived Experiences in a supportive Safe & Developmental space. The programme encourages & provides participants with an opportunity to begin REFRAMING THEMSELF & their own PROGRESSION paths.
At the heart of both YCSA & YPF is the concept of Active Civics – we support all our participants to not only be a leader for their self-progression & development but also to consider community & communities. Young People bring CHANGE & YCSA YPF is committed to supporting & equipping these Future Leaders with the skills, knowledge, Attributes, experiences & opportunities to PRACTICE & LEARN about their future Leadership roles.
