Youth Engagement Scheme (YES!)

We deliver our very own Youth Engagement Scheme (YES!)
which is a partnership project led by the Derbyshire Fire & Rescue service. The YES! scheme is targeted at young people aged 13-16 years who may have low self-esteem, be at risk of exclusion, disengaged with education, or may be young carers. The YES! programme is currently a 12 session, 1 day per week scheme in term time which works with many partners across Derbyshire.
Through a mix of practical and classroom activities the students gain an understanding of Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service's 'drill type' activities and our partners help deliver a wide variety of other units that are aimed at improving the students self-confidence/self-esteem and promote teamwork and mutual cooperation.
Through the YES! Scheme we also aim to contribute to the following outcomes:
  • Reduce anti-social behaviour
  • Improve school and work placement attendance levels
  • Develop an understanding and appreciation for the communities in which the young people live
  • Develop an aspiration for a more positive future
If you want to find out more about these schemes or if any are running in your area, please contact a member of the Youth Team at our Prevention & Inclusion Department on 08067640001
