RYAG has began running a Princes Trust XL programme from the Youth Cafe, the one day a week pilot working with 15 young people is set to progress into a fulltime community education programme for young people who are excluded from or disengaged with mainstream education later in the year.
In a growing number of schools and non-mainstream centres across the UK, xl clubs target young people facing difficulties in education and work with them on a personal development curriculum that promotes achievement and encourages success. Deliberately informal, xl clubs seek to re-engage and motivate young people. xl club members learn to take responsibility, develop social skills and enjoy the benefits of teamwork.
The 6 main curriculum areas of the xl programme are:
1. Personal, interpersonal and team skills
2. Citizenship and community awareness
3. A community based project
4. A residential activity
5. Entrepreneurship and enterprise
6. Preparation for the world of work/training
The RYAG XL club (yet to be named) will also encorperate a number of NOCN course's that young people can choose to participate in with the support of the WEA / Coleg Harlech
