🌟 Welcome to Ohana Youth Project

Ohana Youth Project is a welcoming and inclusive group for young people aged 11–17 who are currently out of school and/or Home Educated. Our sessions provide a relaxed, safe and supportive environment where young people can spend time with others, explore their interests, try new things and simply be themselves.

We understand that being out of school can look different for every young person. That’s why Ohana Youth Project is young person-led, giving those who attend the opportunity to help shape the group and decide what they would like to do.

What to Expect –

Young Person-Led:
Young people have a say in what happens at the group, from activities and projects to new ideas they would like to explore. We want everyone to have the opportunity to make the group their own.

Explore Your Interests:
Whether you enjoy art and creativity, gaming, music, crafts, technology, cooking, making things or discovering something completely new, there is space to explore your interests at your own pace.

Social Connection:
A relaxed opportunity to meet other young people, make connections and spend time together in a friendly and inclusive environment.

A Safe & Supportive Space:
Our aim is to create a space where young people feel comfortable, accepted and able to be themselves, without pressure to take part in activities they don’t enjoy.

Relax, Create & Have Fun:
Alongside planned activities and projects, there will be plenty of opportunities to chat, play games, listen to music, be creative or simply relax and spend time with others.
