The Project is supported by Gateshead Council through its Youth and Community Learning Service, based within the Learning and Culture group. The Project maintains an emphasis on themes of work, which are designed to address disaffection, particularly in the area of Social Inclusion and School non-attendance.

In addition to this the Project delivers work, which brings added value to statutory education and detached youth work which engages young people in activities which have the demonstration of core skills as central to personal and group development. The Project is committed to developing pieces of work, which have aspects of numeracy and literacy as central to them.

Underpinning everything the Project has to offer is the idea learning can be interesting, made different and can be fun. We at Streets Ahead have not lost the capacity to laugh at ourselves, each other and the world in general. The information on this site gives only a snap shot of types of projects and styles of practice Streets Ahead adopts.

Work ongoing in 2004/05 includes:

* Detached youth work sessions

* Junction Box
