Projects

Projects in the Network range massively from helping the aged to awareness campaigns, and setting up radio stations to creating youth forums. There are no boundaries to what your project is or where you are from. Our network includes everyone from schools and youth groups to clubs and youth offending teams. If you don’t have a project, why not see if there is one in your area that you can get involved with?
