About This Cause
Welcome to Streets of Growth where our name is our aim. We are leading edge interventionists where the difference is in our detail. We work intensively and tirelessly engaging and re-engaging young-adults aged 15-25 years who are stuck, often struggling with issues relating to poverty, and disconnected to wider positive progressive networks and regeneration. Our uniqueness and impacts are due to the way we design and seamlessly interweave outcomes driven life skills coaching using targeted street work interventions, with ‘tailor made’ entrepreneurial employability skills through our enterprise programming. We initiate, engage and measure our interventions and impacts over the longer term to ensure we equip our young-adult clients with the leadership skills, communities, economic networks, and resilience to stay out of harm’s way and continually adapt and thrive in a constantly changing world. Our model of approach for binding these two complex systems gives us the relational leverage to disrupt the cycle of poverty, gangs, reduce violence and criminality, and tackle the exploitation, isolation and hopelessness of 21st century young communities living in east London. Our Approach: Over the last 17 years, SG has continually evaluated its work, services and impact. We have come to understand that good intentions of a charity do not bring the change that at risk, ‘stuck’ young people need and require to make the difficult changes to disrupt the cycles of poverty, violence and harm in which they live. Our Theory of Change: Through a process of internal outcome evaluation, Streets of Growth developed Theory of Change upon which our current outcomes driven practice is based; namely, at risk young adults when re-engaged through positive, intensive, outcomes driven coaching relationship with a trained Youth Coach can change their behaviours; and so, develop resilient characteristics, entrepreneurial and employability skills to disrupt the negative cycles of poverty, violence, crime and harm. Through our Theory of Change process, we have developed the Bridging Programming, which works on three levels: Initiating – relationship level of engagement, building of trust and transformational change with a young person: Participating – where young adults at a point of readiness to begin to work on life, education, enterprise and employment skills: Advancing – young adults are stepping into positive lifestyle and career changes and move forward into social and economic independence.
