Our Aim is to work with young people towards their personal, social, and spiritual development in line with the core youth work principles of Empowerment, Education, Participation and Equal opportunities. Click HERE for information.
Three ways to connect into the StreetSpace Community: - Become a StreetSpace Project - where projects set up a local management group and constitute themselves around StreetSpace, and run as an independent branch of StreetSpace. - Become a Partnership Project - where StreetSpace partners with a local group or church to develop the detached or outreach side of their work in line with the StreetSpace processes etc. - Join StreetSpace Alongside - where the local project wants to be part of the community of practice and some form of coaching, mentoring or non line management supervision, usually around an existing detached work project or developing new forms outreach with young people
Getting Involved
StreetSpace operates as a values driven community of practice. We support a number of local projects around detached work and community involvement with young people. Through our Hub (which supports the local projects) we are able to help in a variety of ways. Some projects opt to become local expressions of StreetSpace, others simply want support or training.
Local expressions usually undertake - Detached youth work - Community consultation with young people through M and M's - Hear my Voice (a new initiative supporting the M and M's processes) - Spin Off projects (depending on other local needs and interests of young people)
The Hub offers support in getting the project underway, policies and procedures, training, recording processes, coaching and much more. Email us for more details.
