Stepping Up Youth Project works with young people aged 8 years to 24 years.

We recognise that if unemployment and low educational attainment levels are to be improved, it is critical that preventative work with young people between the ages of 8-11 years must be a priority, through strategic support.
Stepping Up Youth Project is currently developing work with parents, carers and children as young as 8 years old who have demonstrated high levels of under achievement.
While young people – more than any other social group – are often victims of crime, Stepping Up Youth recognise that young people aged 11-24 years achieving low educational attainment or unemployed are identified as being at risk of engaging in criminal activities.
Stepping Up Youth Project is currently developing work with young people identified as at risk of offending, by members of the community, youth support members and other organisations and the young people themselves.
