Yesoid is a youth and mentoring club that provides a warm, culturally sensitive environment where teens can unwind, spend time with friends, and feel fully understood and supported.
What We Do
One-to-One Mentoring
Boys meet weekly with a trained mentor in a relaxed, “big-brother” style setting. Sessions are informal and child-led, helping boys feel comfortable sharing what’s on their minds, setting personal goals, and working towards them at their own pace.
Group Mentoring
Small group sessions offer a safe, structured space to talk, learn from shared experiences, and build skills such as communication, teamwork, and empathy. These sessions help boys feel part of a positive, encouraging community.
Youth-Led Opportunities
We are developing a youth-led social action strand that gives boys the chance to take on leadership roles, contribute to meaningful projects, and make a difference within their community.
Youth club drop-in
Alongside mentoring, we run a friendly drop-in club where boys can play table tennis or pool, enjoy creative activities, and spend time with friends in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
It gives them a sense of belonging and offers positive, structured social time outside school and home.
Why Yesoid Matters
Boys in our community juggle school demands and busy home environments. Yesoid provides a calm, friendly, and safe hub where they can be themselves, talk to someone they trust, and enjoy positive social opportunities.
