The project will basically involve giving 16-25 year olds a place to chill out and enjoy themselves away from everyday pressures. They can play pool, xbox kinect, watch tv or just have a soft drink and relax. In the meantime, they will be able to get to know our Youth Workers, and should they need any advice, they'll have someone trusting there to listen and help. The project will also offer any volunteering opportunities as they arise, such as Delta Force projects, for the Young Adults CVs.
Why they need our serviceAs as social deprived area, EYDG has used the Elgin Youth Café as a means of offering Young People a place to go, away from the pressure of drugs and alcohol, and perhaps difficult home lives. However, the older Young People aged 15-18 haven't been as active in attending the Youth Café, so to give them somewhere to go we're opening Friday afternoons, to give 16-25 year olds somewhere inclusive to chill out and get advice from our Youth workers on employment and independence.
Plan and expected resultsThe primary aim of this project is quite simply to give the Young Adults a place to go, where they can simply chill our and relax, or if required, seek advice and opportunities through our Youth Team. These Friday afternoons offer Young adults the opportunity to get involved with likeminded people, and to prepare for living away from home, going to university or any other life changes. Furthermore, we'd expect the project to help with employability through our volunteer opportunities.
