Working with Ex-Offenders

Striding Out will be delivering two programmes in 2010 to support young offenders re-engage back into society.

We will be delivering our Figuring Out career coaching programme, providing a combination of career coaching and work placement support to male young offenders aged 15-19 to give them clarity and direction on where they would like to take their career on leaving prision. This programme is being run in partnership with Catch 22, the national youth charity. We will link this programme into educational provision and our Future Jobs Fund programme.

We are also delivering our Take the Lead coaching programme to young female ex-offenders, working with the Youth Offending Teams in Liverpool and London. We will be providing a group of young people with coaching skills to mentor their peers to help them support each other during the transition period. This programme is being funded by Global Charities and V.
