Providing Practical Support

We can offer practical support at a local level for youth work organisations and schools who want to explore or develop opportunities to work together in 2020-21.  We can help by:

  • Connecting schools and youth work providers where these relationships are not yet established
  • Helping partners explore the biggest challenges faced by schools in relation to Education Recovery – and the ways in which youth work can collaborate with schools to address these
  • Supporting joint approaches to planning, design and evaluation of targeted youth work to support young people, particularly those who are identified as losing more ground/ disengaging from learning as a result of their experience during the Covid 19 Crisis

For any further information and support, please contact: ggracie@youthlinkscotland.org or mbruce@youthlinkscotland.org.
