Why our programmes run inside schools
· 4 min read · HazeYouth team
Young people should not need transport money and a free afternoon to access support. So we go to them.
A well-being service that requires a bus fare across Kampala has already filtered out the young people who need it most. That is why so much of our work happens where young people already are: classrooms, halls, community centres and group chats.
Working inside institutions also means working with the adults around them. Teachers and matrons see the early signals long before we do. A short briefing with staff often does more for a school than the session itself.
We also stay for a term rather than dropping in once. One assembly is a nice memory. A recurring circle is a relationship.
If you lead a school or a youth institution and want a HazeYouth circle on your calendar, we would like to hear from you.
