I'd Like to go to College

2002

Homeless young people face enormous barriers to accessing further education. Many have the capacity to achieve qualifications, but may lack the stability, confidence or skills necessary to travel to college every day, attend classes, and do the necessary homework. This report analyses one imaginative effort to overcome these barriers. Many homeless young people take part in voluntary and user involvement programmes that offer opportunities for personal development and training, without the skills acquired receiving accredited recognition. This project, led by SCSH with support from the Edinburgh Youth Social Inclusion Partnership (EYSIP), developed a partnership between a team of homeless young people, Stevenson College and the voluntary sector that succeeded in delivering mainstream further education qualifications without requiring the young people to attend a classroom.
