Staying Safe – Youth Ambassadors Programme

Are you aged between 12-17?

Can you have a positive influence on other young people? If the answer is ‘yes’ then why not become a Staying Safe Youth Ambassador?!

The programme is an innovative approach which positions community members and professionals to support young people within Coventry to make positive lifestyle choices.

Positive Youth Foundation, Coventry City Council, West Midlands Police and CATCH 22 were successful in bidding for the Supporting Families against Youth Crime Fund and also the Early Intervention Youth Fund.

The Project consists of a three-tier approach, delivering sessions within schools, provide targeted family work and providing young people on the periphery of gangs or those already involved, with mentors to help them to achieve better outcomes.

The aim of the Staying Safe Volunteer Programme is to provide community members with training and support to give them the confidence to help others. In most cases, the young people we work with are victims of exploitation and in need of a positive adult in their lives.

Benefits will include training, uniform, the opportunity to be part of an exciting new initiative and a highly rewarding opportunity to help create a positive impact on a young person’s life journey.
