Programmes
By including marginalised people in the development of the solutions, Youth Ink develops youth justice interventions that meet the needs and concerns of those whose lives stand to benefit most.
We have developed a tried and tested model that enables understanding, collaboration and change. Successful rehabilitation and re-integration begin with changing and adapting Youth Justice Services into programs that meet real, identified needs centred on collaboration with young people and stakeholders.
We Achieve our vision by:
Peer-Led Conversation Hub – developed by young people from the Peer Navigator Network provides a structured and effective means by which young people seek support and have a voice in the justice system.
The PLCH comprises of six weekly sessions designed to facilitate engagement participation to support young person’s emotional wellbeing & citizenship.
It is an innovative way of engagement participation, debate facilitation and discussion tools.
PLCH sessions are energetic and vibrant discussions centred on young people and local issues serve as a highly effective way for individuals to explore active citizenship and community engagement.
PLCH provides invaluable insight for decision-makers to help improve their knowledge and understanding of youth issues and how policy affects young people.
