BARCA Leeds provides a comprehensive range of services for young people who not only participate in but also contribute to the running of their projects. Youth Participation is encouraged in all elements of the youth work programme which includes:

Outdoor education, creative arts, issued based work. Working in Schools we provide Information & support services and support accredited alternative curriculum work; Our Outreach & Detached workers engage with young people, to see what needs they have and link them to on-going activities or start new ones. We also have Centre based provision within local communities where young people can become involved planning & delivering their own programme of activities.

The Info Space Drop-in /Connexions Access point is where young people can obtain information and support on a wide range of topics in a relaxed & confidential setting; this includes the C-card scheme, pregnancy testing and sexual health information on a confidential basis. A Personal Adviser is available through BARCA-Leeds Connexions service to give one-on-one support.
