The DAVE (Deaf, Actively, Volunteering, Experience) project helps 35 young people (aged 16-25), with a wide range of hearing defects, to manage the transition from education to whatever they want to do next.
This could include helping to build confidence, socialising, gaining knowledge, doing workshops, applying for courses and getting new experiences. In short, the project can help with anything that is needed to assist people to live independent lives. The young people who come guide what the project does at a quarterly forum.
One of the young people involved in the project said “I feel like I belong to a community”.
