Positive Pathways

The Positive Pathways research study is being funded by the Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) in order to find out if taking part in an adventure/outdoor learning and mentoring programme makes a difference to young people’s behaviour, prosocial skills and their wellbeing.

To apply, young people must:

• Be 15-17 year olds. 
• Live in the East Midlands or West Midlands.
• Be willing to take part in a research study which includes undertaking a survey at the start and end of the programme.
• Provide consent to take part (as well as a guardian, carer or parent consenting). 

And meet at least one of the following criteria:

• Be experiencing high levels of detention, suspension or exclusion.
• Have been identified as possibly associating with individuals involved in criminality.
• Have been arrested or convicted of a criminal offence (some exclusions apply to this).

Please ensure you read the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which contains full inclusion/exclusion criteria and a detailed description of what is involved in signing up to the trial for all parties.
