Exit Foundation

GANG AWARENESS
and
YOUTH EMPOWERMENT WORKSHOPS

Exit Foundation is dedicated to supporting individuals in breaking free from lives of violence and crime. Our gang awareness workshops are designed to foster understanding and awareness among those likely to encounter individuals in need, while also promoting the development of positive role models for young people who may be affected by these issues.

Our Youth Empowerment workshops raise awareness and provide insights for young people at risk of street life, fostering positive role models and equipping participants with the skills to respond effectively to challenges.

GROOMING and EXPLOITATION

Our bespoke GANG AWARENESS TRAINING

Our gang awareness training equips professionals working with at-risk young people to address serious youth violence, exploitation, and gang involvement effectively. Tailored to the unique needs of your team, our flexible workshops empower attendees to identify, support, and refer when safeguarding concerns arise.

What makes our training unique is the lived experience of our facilitators, all reformed professionals with firsthand insight and lived-experience into gang life and exploitation. Their expertise ensures deeply impactful sessions that inspire change. Participants receive certificates of attendance, which also serve as evidence of continuing professional development (CPD).
