The five-year Genesis project is supporting young people aged 11-18 from the Whitehead area who are disengaged from school or the community. The project, based in the Genesis Drop-In Centre, will improve their personal development, support them to stay in school and help them gain the skills to find employment through a range of activities and workshops. The young people will help plan the project and decide on activities, and have opportunities to become more involved in different areas of community life.
