Volunteer Outreach Worker: Dad'S & LadsYoung Womens Outreach Project Oct 2016 - Apr 2018GatesheadI participated in a weekly youth work project in Gateshead called Dads & Lads. The project reaches out to young fathers from the Teams area and other lower demographic areas, the project allows a place for new fathers to relieve the daily pressure of their situation. Me and the project leader planned out various activities each week for the young fathers, such as DJ lessons, sports outings and life skills.
