HERE IS WHAT SOME OF THE YOUNG PEACE CHAMPIONS HAVE TO SAY:

“My main achievement during this programme would be realising my potential. I came out of prison onto this programme and it has completely changed my thinking. I’m now thinking out of the box. I’ve learnt the importance of ideas and more importantly, that my ideas can be turned into a business and career. I’m leaving the programme now with the intention of setting up my own business alongside another YPC member.”

“This course is right in all the places school was wrong!”

“I plan to enrol at college, qualify and then go on to University. I want to take steps to improve myself to be a better parent to my children, start planning to start my own business and read more books to gain knowledge. I’ve learnt never to give up even when life gets tough”

“The opportunity to work at the Prince’s Trust was my main highlight. It wasn’t just any voluntary work experience but I actually got to work in the field of something that I could see myself pursuing as a career in the long term. I got a taste of the future and it showed me that I am definitely on the right path!”

“No matter what I do, I will make a difference!”
