Mission: To educate and train young people to reduce the risk of offending
Funding: 130,000 a year from Kent and Medway Youth Offending Service, and partners including the Probation Service and Nacro
The Rainer Medway Motor Project was founded 12 years ago to give young people in trouble with the law an alternative to conventional education, and to provide a route into the workplace. Between 150 and 170 young people attend the programme every year.
The Kent scheme is set up like a working garage, and taught by staff from the motor trade. Young people learn motor mechanics and a variety of other skills, and can gain a Skills in Working Life Certificate, Vocational Access Certificate or, as of this year, an NVQ Level 1 qualification.
