Young Women’s Outreach Project
What They Do
The Young Women’s Outreach Project was established in 1992 to provide a specialist service to young women aged 11 to 19 years across in the North East of England.
We work with young women and young mothers supporting and guiding them through crises in their lives. These crises can be finding out that they are pregnant, problems or struggling in schools, mental health issues, rape, self-harm, lack of confidence and self-belief, violence or sexual exploitation, the list goes on and on. Many young women and mothers are referred into the project by a vast range of professionals, such as social workers, teachers, emotional well-being and family intervention teams.
We support young women until they feel that they are ready to take the next steps in life. Progression leads to young women gaining accreditation, many of the young women who attend do not have any qualifications due to the complexity and the issues in their lives. We aim to re- engage young women and mothers back into education, training or employment.
