LEARNER TESTIMONIALS
‘My first day in Youthreach I remember it like it was yesterday. I was waiting inside the door because I didn’t know where to go but the teachers was very nice and respectful. The teachers treated me like a man not just a child like in school, Youthreach was a very pleasant place, and I really enjoyed my time here. I have passed my level 3 and 4. Thank God for the teachers being here for me in Youthreach they really helped me grow up I was very childish and shy when I first started, now when I look back I can see the massive changes. I would recommend Clara FET to anybody who needs extra help or people that school is not for because Youthreach will guide you into the right path. Now that I’m leaving Youthreach, I can see the massive change and it is a good change and they helped me along the way. Youthreach is a very chilled place, and the students are all friendly to each other.’

‘Why Youthreach? I was often asked why I had chosen to leave school and go to Youthreach. School wasn’t the right place for me. The environment wasn’t suited for me, but Youthreach was different in so many ways. All students and teachers were equal, they treated me like an adult and not like a child. They were more like my friends than my teachers and I learned so much from them in my classes and about life in general. I never thought I’d ever do anything with my life but now with help and encouragement I got from my teachers I’m now doing my level 5 in healthcare and I’m hoping to follow down this route. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without them. Joining Youthreach was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
