Our Projects

Our work at Youth Initiatives Scotland is based out of two projects, one in the northside of Glasgow and one in the southside. A continuing partnership with the education authority in Glasgow has allowed us to build youth work activities and outreach work around the local communities of two schools. It is from these two school’s projects that we have built our work into the local community where we run after school and evening youth work programmes, summer schemes and other school holidays initiatives where we often partner with other local community organisations. Our outreach focuses on connecting with the young people who are often the most disengaged and vulnerable youth in our community.

Northside Youth Community Hub

In the Northside of Glasgow Youth Initiatives Scotland have partnered up with All Saints RC Secondary School to connect with young people and help them grow.

Southside Youth Community Hub

In partnership with the education authority, Youth Initiatives have set up a community hub in and around Pollock Glasgow.

NPA in Youth Work

Youth Initiatives currently partners with 3 schools in Glasgow City council delivering the National Progressional Award in Theory and Approaches to Youth Work.

Summer Initiatives

Over the summer holidays Youth Initiatives runs outreach programs which include summer schemes and a weekend residential.

School Retreats

Youth Initiatives Scotland run day retreats for various high schools and year groups across Glasgow.

Volunteers

Volunteering for YI gives young people aged 15-18 the opportunity to develop skills of leadership in various different projects that we run.
