Who Can Join
We work in close collaboration with schools to identify those who would most benefit from our support. We look for someone between the ages of 15 and 20, who is still in school and determined to change their lives.
The programme is run after school from Mondays to Thursdays. We also meet on some Saturdays and school holidays.
