Our Programme
YOUTH at‑risk PROGRAMME
Guiding today’s youth away from risk and toward a future full of purpose.
1. FOCUS AREA
This programme supports youth who are at risk of negative choices or are facing challenges that threaten their wellbeing and future.
Our focus is on prevention, resilience‑building, life skills development, positive relationships and leadership through applied theatre and mentorship.
Activities include theatre‑based workshops, mentorship, life skills training, creative expression, education support and community engagement.
2. THE NEED
Many young people face pressures and circumstances that increase the risk of negative outcomes, including:
Exposure to violence, crime and gangs
Poverty and limited opportunities
Family breakdown and instability
Poor school performance and disengagement
Substance abuse and unhealthy behaviours
Low self‑esteem and lack of direction
Limited access to positive role models and support
Mental health challenges and trauma
3. TARGET GROUPS
Young people aged 18 to 35 who are:
At risk of crime, gang involvement or substance abuse
Struggling in school or at risk of dropping out
Experiencing family or community challenges
Living in high‑risk or vulnerable communities

Lacking positive role models and guidance
We work with youth, their families and communities to create stronger support networks.
