Project name: On Board with CashBack                 

Age range: 12-25 years

On Board with CashBack is a programme aimed at changing the attitudes and behaviours of young people aged 12-25 most at risk of being involved in the justice system, who have been impacted by adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and trauma.

Over the course of the 3 year project, we will work with 31 groups of young people from across Scotland.

Each young person participates in a structured programme, including:

  • 32 hours of group work sessions
  • 8 hours of outdoor education led by an On Board Youth Development Worker
  • 58 hours of youth work delivered over 5 days in a sail training environment aboard a 70ft yacht

We take a person-centred approach to explore risk-taking behaviours on land and at sea whilst developing confidence, resilience, and teamwork along and young people’s personal and social skills.

Our participants record their experiences in their ‘Personal Journal,’ evaluating risk-taking behaviours and the impact these could have on themselves and their communities.
