Stepping Stones

Henry Smith Foundation

Deaf Active are excited to announce that they have secured a new 3 year project through the Henry Smith Foundation. Each year there is a fantastic opportunity for 10 Deaf/CODA young people aged 18 to 30 years of age (anywhere from Liverpool City Region and Merseyside) to take part in our project for one year.

Here at Deaf Active, through the Stepping Stones project, you will have the opportunity to gain an accredited Level 3 Education and Training qualification. This provides a fantastic chance to gain real teaching experience by delivering sign language sessions to nurseries, schools, and businesses.

You will also take part in work experience within our Play and Youth Work sector, including roles in our youth club and Discovery Camp play schemes. In addition, our Personal Trainers at Active Fitness offer opportunities to improve your own fitness within their studio.

We will also be running a variety of workshops covering CV writing, interview techniques, confidence building, workplace technologies, and much more.

If this sounds like something you would like to get involved in, please complete the registration form below. If you are currently under the required age range, don’t worry—your name can be kept on our list for the next two years.

Students, those in employment, and those who are unemployed are all welcome.
