The Young Potential Development
Programme
Working in Communities across the East Midlands, the Young Potential
Development Programme is a long term intensive support programmes that
makes a measurable difference to young people who are experiencing
serious difficulties in terms of attending school, resisting drugs or
avoiding teenage parenthood.
Each year-long programme runs weekly sessions, either through school or
in community settings, covering personal effectiveness, physical and
emotional education, arts, sports and educational activities. A key
element of the programme is supporting the young people to get involved
in their local community through taking part in local events,
volunteering or fundraising for local projects.
During the programme there is an optional week long residential
programme where the young people learn about the practical aspects of
managing their thoughts and feelings differently so that they can feel
emotionally secure, and through this, be able to make clearer choices
around their relationships, attitudes and behaviour.
The programme provides consistent support, information, advice and
guidance to young people over an extended period of time, and has a
significant impact on their ability to access opportunities, improve
their relationships and make improved health choices.
