What's Involved?

This personal development programme gives young people from a mixture of backgrounds, aged 16-25, the opportunity to develop key life skills such as communication; problem solving; working as part of a team, whilst undertaking challenges which will help the local communities and environment.
What's the Challenge?
You will complete a 12 week challenge including team building activities and an action packed week long residential, as well as getting to know and work with new people.
The team will choose a community / environmental project. With help from your Team Leader you will plan, organise and fundraise to complete your project. Part of the programme includes a work placement for 2-3 weeks and receiving "next steps" advice for when you complete the programme. You will gain a Prince's Trust completion certificate as well as recognised core skills units as part of an SVQ.
