Schools
Durham YFC have established links with several secondary schools in the Durham area and offer a variety of services:
Resources:
To the left you will find full information on schools resources. These are available for purchase by schools, churches and volunteer groups. Please contact us to arrange to sample the material.
Extended Services:
As part of our Reflex programme we are developing our ASDAN delivery. We are currently piloting a Well Being Course with vulnerable pupils in Gilesgate Sports College and Belmont Performing Arts College.
We are an Extended Services Partner Agency for 2 local secondary schools.
In Gilesgate Sports College we provide a detached team who engage with young people during lunchtimes to build positive relationships, particularly with those pupils who find the school environment challenging. Through workshops, such as street dance, singing and issue-based conversations we aim to support pupils to increase their confidence, engagement and participation.
In Belmont Performing Arts College we provide an off-site drop-in called SUMMIT for year 10 and 11 students on a Wednesday lunchtime in partnership with the St Mary Magadalenes Church and Carrville Methodist Church. This is a safe space for time-out, games, and informal mentoring and support.
City wide
We are looking to develop relationships between churches and schools and currently support volunteers who are active in schools through training and resourcing. We are part of a local Christian schools work forum. Please contact us if you are interested in being involved.
