Solas Project: Compass Sports Volunteer
ABOUT COMPASS
Compass provides practical, meaningful activities for the young prison population aged 15 – 24. Activities include sport, one on one mentoring, barbering, education, and employment support. Personal development programmes help us to engage with the young people. We work with young people in prison nearing the end of their release. Upon release, the participant will be linked with a keyworker as they follow the steps of their post-release care plan. It is our goal to see each young person successfully integrate into their families and community.
