Include Youth

Our work is underpinned by 4 core values; Equality, Inclusion, Opportunity and Integrity.

Services

We work with young people aged 14-24 across Northern Ireland. Many young people we work with have left school with little or no qualifications, are care-experienced and may be at risk of child sexual exploitation. We provide a safe space for young people, rebuilding their confidence, developing life-skills, enhancing employability skills and providing life changing opportunities.

Policy

We influence public policy that has an impact on young people’s lives.  All our work is underpinned by the voice of children and young people and evidence-based practice which enables us to produce well-informed and researched publications, including briefing papers, submissions to public consultations, young people’s submissions and manifestos. Our work is founded on the voice of young people, listening and actively campaigning in their best interests.

Topics include: Awareness raising workshop on Child Sexual Exploitation, OCN NI Level 2 in Understanding Child Sexual Exploitation, Awareness raising workshop on supporting Care Experienced Children and Young people, OCN NI Level 4 in Supporting Care Experienced Children and Young People OCN NI Level 2 in Mentoring Practice
