Youth learning

Dialogue Youth Shop front

We work with young people to facilitate their personal, social and educational development and to enable them to gain a voice, influence and place in society in a period of their transition from dependence to independence.

The purpose of our work is to enable young people to:

  • build self esteem and self confidence
  • develop the ability to manage personal and social relationships
  • develop new skills
  • consider risk, make reasoned decisions and take control
  • develop a ‘world view’ that widens horizons and invites social commitment

We are here to work with young people who have low personal and social skills and who are at risk of exclusion through:

  • antisocial behaviour
  • lifestyle choices
  • lack of opportunity

Currently we work within schools, youth groups and on the streets. We develop opportunities that help young people to:

  • develop personal and social skills
  • achieve recognised qualifications
  • participate in decision making
  • develop good healthy options
  • take part in activities
  • participate in residential situations both at home and abroad
