The Prince's Trust Team Programme is designed to help unemployed and vulnerable young people in Kent gain skills and find work, apprenticeships or return to education.
Since it began in 2011, the 12-week programme, delivered by Kent-based charity CXK, has seen 1,200 young people donate 30,000 hours to local charities and causes.
Participants spend a week at a residential activity centre undertaking team-building activities and learning problem-solving techniques. Then, over a six-week period the young people put the skills they have learned into practice by volunteering on a community project, before a two-week work placement.
Recently, young people from Thanet, a deprived coastal community, were the 100th group to undertake the Team Programme. The 12 young people aged 16 to 24 spent two weeks renovating community arts project Arts in Ramsgate.
