Projects whose age range is Young People

Action Windsurfing

This is a collaborative project between Action and Leeds University Union's Windsurfing club. The project works with year 9 pupils from local high schools to teach them how to windsurf and help them progress to gain a Royal Yachting Association Stage 1 and 2 qualification. Through learning in groups, the young people will learn not only how to windsurf, but how to work in a team and support one another whilst learning. Volunteers will learn alongside the children, giving them support, encouragement and having fun. This project is open to complete novices, no previous watersports experience is necessary. Just an interest in trying something new and having fun. Volunteers must feel comfortable in water.

Reach

We take young people aged 12-16 who have learning difficulties away for the weekend. We take them horse riding, swimming, cycling and on farm visits to name just a few of the exciting activities available. Volunteers act as a ‘buddy’ to one young person throughout the weekend, who they are especially responsible for, keeping an eye on them and helping them at meals and bed times. While having a fun filled weekend with a great bunch of kids, you also give their parents a well earned rest too!

Venture

This is a new outdoor activities project for teenagers aged 14 to 17 who come from urban backgrounds in Leeds. We will be taking them with a group of volunteers away to places such as the Lake District and Peak District to pursue new outdoor challenges such as hiking, kayaking, rock climbing, mountain biking and more! The aim is to motivate young people to step outside their comfort zone, achieve new challenging goals and stretch their potential in the great outdoors.
