It’s Your Turf is a dedicated mentoring platform for young people aged 8 to 18 who are showing signs of risk-taking or anti-social behaviour in their communities. Our mission is to guide them toward positive change, both in and out of school
WHAT WE DO
Although we operate outside the traditional classroom setting, we work closely with key staff in schools to support each young person’s journey. Our approach is holistic and trauma-informed, tailored to meet the unique needs of every individual.
We focus on:
- Improving school attendance and behaviour
- Reducing anti-social activity in the community
- Boosting physical and mental well-being through sport and exercise
At It’s Your Turf, we believe every young person deserves the chance to succeed. Our mentoring is not just about managing behaviour, it’s about unlocking potential.
