"Enabling brighter futures for young people and communities" through informal education and youth wo

In the Mix Project (ITMP) is a local registered charity that provides youth and community enhancement works in Somerset. We endeavour to provide services that are accessible to all with a focus on youth work and providing for the younger generation.ITMP provides professional youth work support and advice to young people, relating to issues prevalent to themselves, their communities and their environment. We offer youth provision based on core youth work principles and values to young people living and working in Somerset and further afield.Our programmes provide informal educational activities and positive opportunities that enhance learning alongside personal, social, emotional and professional development, as well as expanding skills and experiences, boosting self-esteem and confidence while promoting teamwork and citizenship. We are flexible in our approach, ensuring that the activities that we offer are relevant to the young people we work with and measurable.

Why the community needs us
We provide professional youth work support to communities and their young people. This can include work within the community, where young meet up, as well as in youth centres.Support can include; activity sessions and workshops and youth work support, weekly programmes support and attendance of community events and engagements. We will work alongside informal youth groups, community clubs, the police, community leaders and other agencies to make this possibly.

Our impact on the community
Young people who choose to use youth work provision and engage with youth work professionals do so for many reasons; to meet friends, to have fun, to spend time in a safe space, to take part in specific activities, to build relationships with adults, or to get help and advice. Youth work therefore offers young people a wide range of activities and opportunities. These activities and the relationships that underpin them, promote young people's personal and social development in various ways.

We are seeking volunteers to support in a variety of roles including alongside our board, during youth and community settings, driving and within venue and site management and maintenance.
