The Wize Boy Project is a fpa community-based personal development project for boys and young men under 25 in the London Borough of Greenwich.
Running for the past two years, the project helps young people with a range of issues such as contraception, self-esteem, sex and the law, sexually transmitted infections, negotiation and respect for self and others. It works in a variety of settings, such as youth services, schools and colleges, community centres and youth offending teams, and with people from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, young offenders, people with learning disabilities and young fathers.
As well as its flexibility and creativity, the Wize Boy Project recognised a need for sexual health work with young men within the London borough. It is important to involve all young people in sexual health issues, particularly as young men often do not think these directly concern them. The Wize Boy Project helps them acquire the essential skills they will need throughout their lives.
