Brother’s Keeper empowers socially excluded young people to access local programmes. This will in turn lead to enhanced employment opportunities to the young people and enable them to become better and more concerned citizens Brothers Keeper will also be seeking to address further employment opportunities through Sport and education. Young people from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds are welcomed on these Projects, We will seek all paths to realise these goals, and Brothers keeper have established and carried out a number of sporting projects in Birmingham that illustrate this mission statement. Brothers keeper Director, Lincoln Moses believes - 'the youth of today are not leaving school with meaningful qualifications and education for the working and wider world and are turning to street crime, robberies, drug dealing and anti-social behaviour, these are the new careers for young people. They do not wish to conform to government schemes as they see them as under-paid and under-enforced. These schemes also seem to come from a "one-box-fits-all" scenario and does not cater to individual needs.' Brother’s keeper is solely youth focused, sees things in their terms that will combat these trends, engaging young people who are homeless, in care, excluded from school or are youth offenders and tend to be separated from mainstream employment opportunities, communities and society. We also recognise a commitment to engaging young people before they become involved in the above. |
