Young Person

i like the kinetic session because it allows me to build up positive relationships with staff.

Our workshops are for groups 6-8 young people exploring topics that relate to gang affiliation in safe environment containing:

  • Planned ‘topics’ of in-depth learning
  • Aspirational goal setting and generic personal growth
  • Accreditation (AQA’s) from entry level to 1,2 and 3
  • Peer mentoring training and support
 
Topics covered in workshops and 121’s include:

 

1: Gangs
2: Personal resilience

 

During the sessions each young person will gain at least 2 AQA’s to show their understanding and knowledge learnt during their time with Kinetic Youth.
