What difference will you make?

Khulisa is an award-winning charity delivering social and emotional skills development support to disadvantaged young people (11-16).  Our programmes are proven to improve young people’s wellbeing, raise their aspirations and support them to make positive transitions.  Young people are referred to Khulisa as a result of unresolved experiences of trauma, abuse and neglect, many live in poverty and most have come into contact with the criminal justice system.

 

Unfortunately, due to the sensitive nature of our work and the need to protect the young people we work with, we cannot take volunteers for our Face It young people’s programme. However, if you are interested in becoming involved in this, and have a background in theraputic work, youth work or youth development please find out more about becoming an associate facilitator on our ‘Join our Team’ page.
