Developmental
Supporting Young People Where They Learn and Grow
Schools are an important part of a young person's world. By working within and alongside schools, YGOS can connect with youths early, provide consistent support and help them develop skills they can carry into everyday life.
Our programmes combine mentoring, activities and developmental support, giving young people opportunities to grow in confidence, strengthen relationships and work through challenges with someone they trust.
Attached Youth Worker
A Familiar Face in School
Our youth workers work alongside schools to provide young people with accessible, on-site support.
By being regularly present in the school environment, they have opportunities to get to know youths over time, provide mentoring and offer additional support when challenges arise.
Afterschool Engagement
Making the Hours After School Count
Our afterschool programmes create opportunities for youths to spend time meaningfully, connect with others and develop new interests and skills.
Activities provide a natural setting for youth workers to form relationships with young people while supporting their social and personal development.

Smoking & Vaping Cessation
Supporting Youths Who Want to Make a Change
Our Smoking & Vaping Cessation programme supports young people in understanding their habits, making informed choices and working towards positive change.
Rather than focusing only on the behaviour itself, our youth workers support young people through the process and the challenges that can come with it.

Helping Youths Build Confidence, Resilience and Life Skills
Through mentoring, outdoor activities and shared experiences, YGOS helps young people develop confidence, build relationships and learn skills they can use in everyday life.
