• Re-Evolve part of Vital Regeneration is an innovative careers advice service run by 16-25 year olds from Westminster.
  Young volunteers gain confidence and direction in their career through creating their own resources to help other young people decide what careers they want to get into. The volunteers benefit from the hands-on experiences in their chosen industry and as a result become more enterprising and business-minded as they are given the responsibility of organising networking events and career workshops for schools and colleges. Striding Out is delivering the “Be Confident” Coaching programme for their young volunteers comprising of a series of 4 workshops to develop their confidence in leadership and project management skills.
• YouthWorks is a cutting edge new project from London Youth, which aims to train a new generation of youth workers with a specialism in Youth Action.
  YouthWorks full-time volunteers will volunteer for 6 months in a host youth club. During this time they will complete their Level 1 Foundation in Youth Work qualification and run a youth action project in their youth club. Participants will be trained in skills needed to help them facilitate a youth action project in their youth club. They will need to inspire 5 young people in their club to run a small project that benefits the club in some way. Young people will be able to access up to £2000 for these projects. Striding Out is working with YouthWorks to deliver our comprehensive youth leadership and peer to peer coaching programme over a course of 6 months. This comprises of regular monthly one to one coaching sessions and group coaching workshops where young people will be able to work on personal development issues such as increasing confidence, managing time and achieving goals. As well as this they will learn to mentor and coach each other and bring coaching skills into their Youth Clubs.
