Most projects over here seem to be mainly funded by the Government they seem to be (that is the government) much more pro-active than our own, placing a lot of value in the earlier years of education. Again most projects out here seem to be based around Education and getting young people into further education.
I went and observed an after schools programme that had 42 young people attending called Goddard Riverside Community Centre in NY, it is a mentoring programme and can you believe that they have 42 volunteers involved so that being one mentor per young person. Fantastic hey!!!!????? we can learn so very much in lots of ways but to be honest they are very very much behind in other ways.
I managed top walk into this club with really no questions or checks asked about who I was or really what I wanted to do, other than a short introduction.
I've been invited back so will return tomorrow and possibly Thurs to observe another programme. As far as I'm aware they do do checks on employees but there is no law stating they have to..????!!!!
