Beyond Social Services
Youth United Programme
Beyond Social Services’ Youth United and Peer Learning Circles support children and youths in public rental housing communities through community engagement, restorative practices, and peer-led academic support. The programmes aim to strengthen pro-social behaviors, confidence, and a sense of belonging.
Overview
- Youth United is a community-building effort centered on youths living in public rental housing neighbourhoods, fostering care, connection, and pro-social behaviors through engagement and partnerships.
- The programme helps youths from less privileged families by creating nurturing environments that deter delinquency and support positive growth, reconnecting with members over time and facilitating research that reflects their lived experiences.
- Core approaches include community engagement, restorative neighbourhood practices, and mobilising volunteers and community partners to support disadvantaged youths.
- Peer Learning Circles bring children and youth together to support each other academically and socially in safe, encouraging spaces guided by volunteers and mentors.
- These circles cultivate confidence, friendships, and a love of learning, recognising each participant’s strengths and contributions while building a caring community.
- The programmes focus on public-rental housing communities, building from inside-out (leveraging residents’ strengths) and drawing support from outside-in (partners and volunteers).
