CONTEXTUAL
YOUTH WORK
IS 360

"A whole community, can help a whole child become their whole self."
Karlys Simone

THE CONTEXTUAL JOURNEY

OF A YOUNG PERSON

IMG_1585_edited.jpg

One Young Person.
Three Contexts.
One Connected Approach.

We don't just ask "What's happening to this young person?

"We also ask, "What's happening around them?"

MEET JAY​

We first meet Jay at school. He is 14 and has started to disengage, but through conversation we discover that he has a real interest in sports and gaming.
