It offers an extensive range of creative courses and mentoring programmes for young people (12+). These programs are all about teaching at-risk young people hands-on, vocational, and life skills. The small group’s most recent expansion of their mentoring scheme was made possible by a two-year funding package. Looky’s Aid, a non-profit established in memory of Lucas Martin, who died at the age of 21, funded the project.
Looky’s Aid is a nonprofit that’s dedicated to uplifting underprivileged youth. Their backing is poised to provide the Isle of Man Youth Motor Project with funding security that extends well past its customary reaches. This added funding allows the project to hire an apprentice, further expanding its outreach and positive impact on the community. So now through this project, we’re going to reach even more young people in this way. It will get to those who would otherwise fall through the cracks of more conventional educational approaches.
Moving forward, the initiative will provide courses in engineering and vehicle maintenance. These programs are designed to provide participants with in-demand skills, helping them enhance their employment opportunities. Bringing an apprentice on board will increase that project’s capacity by 186 percent! On top of that, it will create a great hands-on learning experience for a young person in the community.
