What is Not My Label?
Not My Label Supports young people from the beginning of their journey at KORI. Our aim is to welcome young people and give them a sense of comfort and belonging. Each young person’s situation is thoroughly assessed by our youth workers to identify which interventions may be needed and to discover the young person’s interests and goals. Building relationships with them, advocating on their behalf, and enabling their networking with other young people as they access services, activities, and KORI’s other programmes is key.
We run weekly sessions for 11-17 Â year olds and 18-25 year olds. Splitting the group in this way helps our youth workers to tailor the sessions to age related activities and support the young people many of whom are impacted by low access to services, intergenerational trauma, inequality, disproportionate equity, the post-pandemic legacy, hyper (in) visibility, and low socio-economic backgrounds
