We are proud to be supporting the Juno Project, a charity that empowers vulnerable teenage girls to achieve their goals in spite of their challenges. Their program, “This Is Me”, lasts 8-12 weeks and focuses on three elements:

The relationships they have with themselves.
The relationships they have with others.
Employability skills.

In small groups, the girls share their experiences and, in conjunction with a trained facilitator, develop positive strategies to use their skills and move forwards from any challenges. The Juno project then pairs them with a mentor at the end of the year 11 program, who supports them for the next 2 years, helping them through their transition from school to college, an apprenticeship, or a job.
At the time of writing, the Juno Project has supported over 200 girls, with 90% reporting that their confidence has improved and 85% seeing an improvement in engagement at school.
Our support will go towards introducing The Juno Project’s new program, Horizons, which supports disadvantaged girls in year 6 in their transition from primary to secondary school. Horizons also offers the youngsters a chance to be mentored by year 10 girls that the Juno Project have worked with in the new secondary school, enabling the older students to give back.
