Young Urbanites

Activities and Programmes

Young Urbanites delivery is a progressive and effective means of working with young people. Our workshops and programmes are designed to help young people develop an understanding of self and others, raise confidence and self esteem, and to encourage self-motivation and social inclusion.

Our main activities include:

Social Awareness Workshops
