Young people are the focus of what we do. Our impact on attainment, achievement and post-school destinations has been transformational:
Motivation based on self assessments by the young people before and after the MCR programme.
Attainment in 5 plus subjects at minimum National 4 and above.
Positive destinations based on progression to college, university or employment.
Data from 2017 leavers published in 2018.
I didn't have any confidence at all. Now I feel like I can do anything. I didn't think I could get into university, but thanks to my mentor I did.
It gives me ideas about what I want to do in the future, facing my fears.
Being able to be myself, being able to get help and not being ashamed to ask for it. Being able to relax and be confident.
While Young People are the focus of what we do, the programme also benefits all of our key participants in a number of ways:
