Youth
4 the Future is a new project for people aged 13 - 25
living in the East Brighton area. It's about giving young people a
voice and a greater say in what they really want for the
area. Also a new youth work training scheme will be in place for
young people to get a youth work qualification and maybe even a
job.
Plus
extra youth work sessions in Moulsecoomb and more youth work support
out and about in the whole of East Brighton.
Chairman
of the Board: the youth board will be an establishment
of young residents, which will have access to, and influence over,
the eb4u boards, steering groups and senior management decisions
as well as overseeing the delivery and development of the project
and the youth strategy.
The YouthBank is
a grant making initiative run by and for young people, providing
small grants to fund projects that benefit the EB area. The bank
is holding £14,000 and will be dished out over the next two
years to projects young people have decided on. Get Involved
Now!

Saunders
Park Youth Forum secured
funding from eb4U's Out Of Schools Activity Fund to
run a series of activities over the Summer holidays. The activities
included healthy cooking for Seniors and Juniors;
an afternoon of dance workshops; a talent
competition and a showcase and a climbing event in
the park on September 18th.
Same
Sky worked with young people and children in Saunders
Park to make angels and monsters - part of the Reclaim
the Park Project and the Saunders Park Youth Forum. Young
people helped each other get their safety gear on so they could
attempt to climb the wall in Saunders Park.
