Youth & Young Carers

Many young people from the Chinese community experience conflict with their parents who have traditional cultural expectations. Young Chinese sometimes experience a conflict of identity and expectations. The Youth Project helps to support young people to believe in themselves, to be proud of being both Chinese and British and to use their talents and skills to serve their community. Early adulthood presents challenges and opportunities. We offer young people the opportunity to realise their potential and contribute fully to the world in which they live.

Services for young people include:

Access to Information Technology training
Drug and alcohol information and support
Employment, education and vocational training
Language & Emotional support
Learning about leadership, self-confidence and self-respect
Leisure and social activities
Partnership with youth services and other agencies
Serving all communities; i.e., fundraising, St John's Ambulance, ALL FM radio
Support and help with housing and benefits advice
Support to young carers in order for them to live a normal live

The Youth Project is open for all young people aged between 13 and 25, living in the Manchester and surrounding area.
