The Speak Out Project, part of HCYC, includes a youth-led magazine published three times a year and a website.

 

Aimed at 11–18-year-olds, it empowers young people to share their stories, explore identity, and connect with others as facilitated by encouraging Youth Workers.  Speak Out helps counter limited opportunities for youth voices, tackling disempowerment and negative stereotyping. It offers a creative, inclusive space for those unable to access traditional after-school activities, promoting confidence, diversity, and social awareness, and helps develop creativity, writing skills, learning about co-creating projects and exploring own views and ideas with others.  It also offers the opportunity for young people to access 1:1 tutoring in how to create pages and upload content on to its website. The project supports HCYC’s wider work and welcomes collaboration with schools, groups, and local businesses.

​

If you are a local teacher or youth group leader who would like to collaborate with Speak Out, enter your students into one of our creative competitions, or receive magazines – we would love to hear from you.
