Blackburn Youth Zone helps young people by
providing opportunities for them. This aids the youth to then develop an
enthusiasm for something. It can help them as the opportunities are in front of
them and can help them psychologically to positively change their attitude and
views on society. It gives the younger generation the chance to feel involved
and heard, as well as taking part in activities they enjoy. A study shows that
young people who attend youth clubs “gain a stronger sense of who they are and
have a high self-esteem” (Nauert, 2010)
Blackburn Youth Zone has a wide range of activities
available, not singling out anything in particular. Activities include crime
awareness programmes, sport, poetry writing and art. Having a wide range of activities decreases the
chance of differentiating between others, promoting social integration by
finding a common interest.
