Story
At Braich Goch we have developed an internship programme for young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds.
Young people are supported to run residentials for their peers and organising creative and educational events in our Community Hub. They are trained in community organising and Participatory Action Research, and gain valuable skills in leadership, teamwork, facilitation, risk assessment, food hygiene, finance and more.
Many of these young people are going through the asylum system, and are living in limbo, unable to work or progress in their education.
An internship at Braich Goch can be life changing - and a learning bursary contributes to the young person's living costs and helps fund their future education, training and professional development, at a time when there are not many options open to them.
"I’ve been learning a lot throughout these 4 months, I have no words to describe how helpful this experience has been to me, it made me feel like I’m in charge of my life again" - Alina, Braich Goch Intern
This year we have supported 11 young people with learning bursaries, and with your support we can support many more.
