The Youth Project provides an opportunity for young people who are visiting family members in prison to relax, have fun and chat about their concerns with a trusted adult and feel less isolated and stigmatised. Volunteers in this role will provide support and information for young people affected by the imprisonment of a family member. They will help out in the youth zones based at Visitors Centres, and assist with trips and residentials for young people. Volunteers will also offer 1:1 telephone support to young people with the potential of offering additional support by meeting up with young people.
Locations: Visitors’ Centres at HMP&YOI Low Newton and HMP Frankland in Durham, HMP Holme House in Stockton and HMP Northumberland, as well as in the community throughout the North East.
