What is The League Youth Programme?
Specifically tailored for young people aged 10-16 years of age, the program is dedicated to empowering young voices by providing a nurturing and creative learning environment.
Support is offered to those young people experiencing low mood/poor mental health, low self-esteem, and difficulties in regulating emotions.
Through creative thinking and storytelling, the programme helps develop essential skills such as problem solving, increased self-esteem, and cultivating new voices and talents within the community.
The young people will also learn practical creative skills ranging from puppetry, creative writing, the art of storytelling, and public speaking.
