Lead Youth Worker - Accrington, United Kingdom - Rainbow Youth & Community Trust

Description

About Us:

The Rainbow Youth & Community Trust was created with one ideal in mind, "Safe Space" by creating a safe space for young people to go, free from bullying, free from name calling, free from the perceptions of others, and no need to force themselves to be what other people expect.

At the Rainbow Youth Centre, we create a safe space for young people to discover themselves, a place where they can ask for advice, look for help, find a friend, or join a club.

A place that takes them away from the loneliness and darkness and shows them a different path, one filled with supportive and encouraging adults, one filled with friends, loaded with options, a place that is empowering, educational and hopeful.
