Inspiring Young Futures
Is a programme of outdoor learning and development for young people in Scotland. It encourages them to think about what they would like to achieve and helps them work towards their goals.
The programme offers regular community-based outreach support wrapped around a Wilderness Journey usually in the highlands of Scotland. Through intensive learning and personal development individuals will consolidate their new skills, boost confidence, motivation and aspirations.
Our programme tackles youth unemployment in Scotland, closes the employment gap and improves mental health for young people.
Inspiring Young Futures is designed for young people aged 16-25, struggling with a range of challenging circumstances:
- care-experienced background
- involvement in offending / anti-social behaviour
- history of substance misuse
- homelessness
- low academic achievement
- fragmented family relationships
- early stage social work involvement
Our programmes provide support for up to 9 months helping individuals to make and sustain connections to services and employment, education, training or volunteering opportunities within their communities.
Age range: 16-25
Location: Across Scotland
Who it's for: Young people experiencing challenging life circumstances, who want to make positive life changes.
