Hello Valley Youth Service Providers!

With winter heading towards its last weeks, we are astounded on how quickly the year has been flying past us. It should not come as a surprise as we had been busy with our programing and events in a post-lockdown era, that the time just escaped us so rapidly. And if you are part of an organisation that is working with young people, we would assume that you would also have your hands full and feeling amazed that we had past the half-way mark of the year. 

But there is still plenty for young people to do and get involved if it interests them with the opportunities that we offer in this newsletter.

Opportunities for Young People:
