We believe that every young person has the potential to succeed.

Support. Opportunity. Transformation.

Youth support in schools

Unlocking potential.

Our dedicated team of youth workers and Family Liaison Officers (FLOs) work collaboratively with multi-agencies, schools, and communities to deliver non-formal learning opportunities that complement Curriculum for Excellence.

Attendance & training.

We support young people to develop the skills, confidence, and resilience they need to thrive – both in and beyond the classroom. Our work is the key to re-engaging with learning, overcoming barriers, and finding a path that works for children and young people.

We place a strong emphasis on health and wellbeing, attendance and attainment beyond exams, and collaborative working between schools and third sector partners.
