📢 Meet the Lisburn YMCA Empower 2 Transform Team and Project!
Our goal is simple: support young people aged 14–24 across the Lisburn & Castlereagh area to build confidence, gain skills, and shape their future. Through this programme we work alongside young people every step of the way, helping them discover their strengths and opportunities.
✨ What is Empower 2 Transform?
It’s a 6-month programme designed for young people who may not currently be in education or full-time employment and want support figuring out their next steps.
Over the six months participants will:
📖 Gain a Level 2 OCN qualification (equivalent to a GCSE)
🧩 Take part in workshops on employability, mental health, resilience and more
🎲 Enjoy exciting activities like residential trips, visiting the Belfast Peace Wall, museum tours, bowling, laser tag, arts & crafts and more
🌎 Plan and complete a Social Action Project to give back to their community
👩🔧 Gain volunteering experience to explore the world of work
🤝 Receive one-to-one support throughout the journey
Most importantly, it’s about building confidence, making friends, trying new things and discovering what’s possible!
