Community Partnerships: Juno Project

Report - 1 May 2019

The Juno Project empowers teenage girls who have been, or are at risk of being excluded from school, to achieve their goals in spite of their challenges.

The ‘This Is Me’ programme is designed for teenage girls aged 14-16, and either excluded from mainstream education, at risk of exclusion or becoming NEET (Not
in Education, Employment or Training), and suffering from disadvantage - home or educational.

At first, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to participate but Ali was so inspiring and kind that I gave it a go. Ali and other inspirational ladies talked to us over a period of time and by the end of the year, I knew I wanted to learn more and go to college. Now I’m studying business and planning to stay for the next level for my course. I’m grateful to Ali and my teachers for pushing me to do my best.’
