Our Impacts
VOYAGE is currently refining the process of demonstrating the real and lasting change its programmes make to the lives of young BAME people in the areas where we work.
We have produced surveys that evaluate the impacts our Young Leaders For Safer Cities programme has had and we are proud to state our programme in 2018
- Recruited 110 year 9/10 young people from 12 secondary schools from 6 London Boroughs
- Retained 103 young people who went on to complete the 5 month intensive course to receive a BTEC Level ii
- Progression – 65% of the cohort returned to join our graduate schemes
These impacts underpin our theory of change which is a comprehensive framework designed to extract vital feedback from young people who complete the course. We back up these impacts by undertaking quantitative and qualitative feed back from parents, teachers and our respected team of tutors.
Our next step is to develop a control group of young people that have not taken part in our programmes to determine the real impact and difference we make in the lives of our young people.
Below we present some of the key outcomes of Young Leaders For Safer Cities in 2019 – and direct quotes from those surveyed:
