At Colin Glen Trust, one of our guiding principles is to create a safe place for young people to come, to learn, to grow and to provide opportunities to local youth across areas such as employment and training.
Prince’s Trust Program
Young people need opportunities. At Colin Glen Trust, in association with the Prince’s Trust, that’s exactly what we strive for. Every young person is valued, their ideas listened to and they are encouraged to follow their dreams.
It’s a safe place to grow, do well and excel. We welcome all young people, from all walks of life, all communities, all backgrounds and offer education, training and support.
Colin Glen Trust is currently recruiting for young people, aged 16-24 to get involved in the Prince’s Trust 12-week personal development programme, commencing 26th April. Apply Now!
