| Comment | Hey, First off, good on you high fives and such.
Secondly I think the reason you won't find a lot doing a direct google is just because of language. Loads of groups will see their work as providing positive alternatives to gangs, and will have street teams who are out there directly engaging with young people at risk, they're just unlikely to phrase it quite so bluntly in their materials because they'd rather focus on the positive outcomes of their work than the negative impact if they weren't there.
There's been some cracking groups mentioned already, I'd add PEEK, YCSA, and Church House to the list. If you wanna shout out your general area we can probably give you a more deliberate steer.
Another alternative would be to look at mentoring/buddying instead of youth projects. I know Volunteer Glasgow has a mentoring project and that stuff is all about using past experiences to support a young person. If you mention to them you dabbled in that kinda stuff in the past they're likely to match you with someone similar. |
