Crediton Youth Service: What we do!
Did you know? As well as our youth club Crediton Youth Service also delivers the following projects and activities:
Youth Voice
Crediton Youth Voice allows young people from the Crediton region to discuss and plan on how to improve the local community. This can range from rewilding projects, improving the conditions for young people in Crediton, or helping with large community events in the town.
A member who was part of Youth Voice for an entire year said:
"I learnt more about the challenges councils face in order to complete projects."
Detached youth work
Not all young people want to come to our youth club and so our detached youth work team meet young people where they are, on the streets and in the park, offering conversation, activities and support.
Peer educators
Peer Educators work with young people in year 6, 7 and 8 at our after-school youth club, developing their communication and teamwork skills, as well as undertaking youth work and safeguarding training. A first step into employment for local Crediton young people.
School outreach
Our team work closely with QE as well as local primary schools to safeguard and support young people and to provide a range of activities and projects that encourage the development and learning of young people.
Transition Project
Our summer transition project trains a team of year 7 mentors to welcome and support the transition of year 6 pupils from primary to secondary.
Community projects
Our team are also involved in a range of projects out and about in the community - look out for some street art in the park in the summer months!
