Organisation Detail
Street League
Organisation Aims and Activities: We engage young people through the Power of Sport. Sport teaches teamwork, leadership, discipline and competitive spirit ? not only beneficial on the pitch, but also essential for the world of work. At Street League we deliver employability services held together by the power of sport, offering a growing range of activities designed to appeal to different groups of disadvantaged young people. Sport is integral to making Street League work ? it brings people together, enables them to feel physically and mentally healthier, teaches key skills like discipline, communication and team work, and is one of the most powerful engagement tools when working with hard to reach young people. We are focussed on helping our young people achieve sustainable change in their lives. We strive to be efficient and effective in everything we do, ambitious for Street League to continue to grow and have an even greater impact in eradicating youth unemployment. Young people come to Street League in various ways, usually referred by unemployment offices and other social services outlets, youth workers, the probation service or through word of mouth. During this time our staff develop a relationship with the young people and begin to talk about their aspirations with the intention, when an individual is ready, to join an Academy course. This process lasts two months and although classroom-based, sport remains an integral part, and gives ?students? the skills and support they need to progress into education, training or work, with the support of Street League.
