YOUTH CHALLENGE OXFORDSHIRE

 What is the YoCO Programme?

YoCO's aim is to support groups of vulnerable young people based in Oxfordshire. These are young people lacking in good guidance and personal confidence and therefore identified by teachers, police, social services or others as vulnerable to the negative influences such as anti-social behaviour, teenage pregnancy, drugs and solvent abuse and on-line harassment. 

The YoCO Programme offers young people aged 14-21 an amazing opportunity for personal growth and development that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. The small groups of up to 12 meet once a week in term time for 18 months with two experienced leaders to follow a structured programme.

The programme includes  education, team work, leadership skills, health awareness, fund raising projects, volunteering and residential trips in the UK and overseas.

Through this the young people develop a greater appreciation of the lives of others and greater self-confidence and personal development so that they realise their own potential to be effective citizens.
