LUX Youth Project
Full Description of Organisation
We believe in every young person we interact with no matter what their background, or how they identify. We want to help facilitate hope in young people’s lives by meeting them where they are in life and help them reach their God given potential. We deliver open access youth work, breakfast clubs, 1:1 mentoring, small group work, Motus – a street dance academy, and a food pantry.
