(UK, 1171054) Browse eventsYouth Challenge Oxfordshire (YoCO) is a new charity running a youth group programme for vulnerable young people aged 14-21. The programme of weekly meetings develops their self-confidence and resilience and includes a residential weekend in the UK and a volunteering 10 day expedition to Western Kenya. Here the challenge for the YoCO team is to work with the Nasio Trust to improve the lives of orphaned Kenyan children by building homes, working in schools or in the fields. The young people must fund raise for this trip developing their team skills and confidence; their challenge is to raise at least £800 each. After Kenya, YoCO help the young people to use their new found confidence and sense of self-worth to embark on further education, apprenticeships or employment.
