We researched the needs for and benefits of starting a youth club for Lambourn. A Youth club can be very beneficial for young people, especially in in rural areas, for several reasons:
- Socializing: Youth clubs provide an opportunity for young people to socialize and meet with others of their own age. This can be especially important in rural areas where young people may be isolated or have limited opportunities to meet others.
- Community involvement: Youth clubs can help young people feel more connected to their community. They can provide opportunities to volunteer, participate in community events, and get involved in local issues.
- Personal development: Youth clubs can help young people develop important life skills, such as leadership, teamwork, and communication. They can also provide opportunities for young people to explore new interests and hobbies.
- Safe environment: Youth clubs can provide a safe and supervised environment for young people to spend their free time. This can be especially important in rural areas where there may be limited options for safe recreational activities.
- Mentoring: Youth clubs often have adult volunteers or staff who can serve as mentors and positive role models for young people. This can be especially important for young people who may not have many positive role models in their lives.
Overall, youth clubs can provide a supportive and nurturing environment for young people in rural areas, helping them to develop socially, emotionally, and academically and based on the five dimensions listed above we decided that the young people of Lambourn deserve a Youth Club to call their own.
