What Is The Journey Programme?

The Journey Programme comprises of four free, outdoor-based, personal development programmes for young people aged 16-30. It is for anyone who is facing challenges in their life and would like the support to improve their mental, physical and emotional well-being. The programme is up to a year long and requires a minimum 2-day commitment each week.

What Will I Do On The Journey Programme?

During each of our programmes, young people take part in challenging and fun outdoor sessions that include activities such as:

- Hill Walking
- Orienteering
- Rock Climbing
- Canoeing
- Gorge Walking
- Weaseling
- Coasteering
- Team Building
- Stand Up Paddling

Alongside the activity days, young people will also spend time in local green spaces in local communities making an environmental impact such as tree-planting or litter picking. Beyond the outdoor activities, young people will also spend time exploring important psychological theories that help us understand and experience the world. We aim to spend as much time in the fresh air as possible, however, occasionally Scotland’s weather gets in the way!

How Will The Programme Help Me?

Everything we do at Venture Scotland is about personal development. Each of our four programmes are designed to help build specific skills such as confidence, managing positive relationships and communication. We also provide 1-to-1 support as we all know, change can be hard! A young person who attends the programme can expect to build skills such as:

- Confidence
- Communication
- Trust
- Teambuilding
- Leadership
- Planning skills
- Positive relationships
- Community awareness
- Experiential learning

As well as these skills, we will support young people to set and meet their own individual goals.

Who Is The Programme For?

The programme is for anyone between the ages of 16-30 who is struggling and looking for the support to make some positive changes in their lives. It’s ideal for anyone who would like to improve their mental, physical and emotional wellbeing.
