The project, launched jointly by The Young Foundation, Youth Futures Foundation and The Mohn Westlake Foundation, will see the young people undertake research in their local communities, exploring perceptions about the strengths and weaknesses of their areas.
It is being funded through the Kickstart Scheme, a £2bn fund set up by government to create high quality six-month job placements for young people, targeting 16- to 24-year-olds currently receiving Universal Credit and deemed to be at risk of long-term unemployment.
Once the cohort have developed their research skills further, they will have freedom to research issues that are important to them and create a research project of their own. Through the research field work undertaken, the project will document the lived experiences of up to a further 450 young people.
