Youth Team
Mission Statement:
‘To make a positive contribution to the lives of young people by increasing their life chances and helping their transition from youth to adulthood’.
We aim to achieve this by enabling young people to recognize and fulfil their potential through developing skills, confidence and aspirations. Hamara Youth Team are committed to providing quality support, guidance and an accessible friendly service.
Our projects include:
Community Cohesion Connexions
The Engage Project Leeds Muslim Youth Forum
Sports Relief Supplementary School
Young People's Fund
The Connexions PAs support young people by assisting them into education, employment and training. The Connexions team works predominantly with 13 – 19 year olds from South Asian communities. Working in partnership with external agencies, they aim to combat social exclusion within this key age group.
