URBOND Youth Development Programme

Call Directions Website

Driving opportunities, wellness and success for children and young people.

The programme offers young people guidance on key topics such as education and career paths, which, in tandem with the URBOND sport programme, occupies them in positive endeavours, expanding their horizons and leading them in the right direction to become successful adults. Additionally, the scheme has been devised to work collaboratively with both members of the community and local partner organisations to tackle the root causes of issues and promote more positive activities and opportunities for young people in Portsmouth and the surrounding areas. The fundamental objective of the URBOND Youth Development Programme is to support young people and to provide them with the best opportunity to fulfil their potential (particularly those within settings where issues, such as crime, are prevalent).

Young person spotlight 🌟

Jenelle performed at the Portsmouth Cultural Festival and Portsmouth Youth Awards this year.

"Through music, Jenelle discovered a safe space to process her emotions, express herself and begin to heal. What started as an outlet, gradually became a source of confidence and hope. Over the past two years, she has grown into a confident young performer, taking to the stage at community events and performing in front of large audiences, something she never imagined she could do. In music, Jenelle has found healing."
