ADULTING 101
WHAT IS IT?
Ever wanted to learn the kind of life skills they don't teach you in school? Want to know how to do DIY, or how to run a business, or absolutely nail a job interview? If it's a life skill that you need to be an adult, we'll be looking at it - everything from how to keep a plant alive to how to cook a meal for friends.
INTERESTED IN TEACHING?
If you have a life skill you think you can teach our young people, we'd love to chat! Maybe you're a plumber who can teach us how to unclog the shower drain, or a pro chef that can teach the world's greatest pasta sauce - or maybe you're just really good at fixing bikes. Whatever it is, get in touch on john@revolutionyouth.co.uk.
WHEN AND
WHERE?
These sessions are at Lawton Moor Methodist Church on Button Lane, M23 0ND. They start at 6.30, and depending on the session, will end somewhere between 8pm and 8.30pm.
These sessions are designed for ages 14 and up, but, if you're a bit younger and think you can get involved in a mature way, we'd love to have you along too.
You can see this term's sessions below.
We also have a specific course about managing money which takes place as part of this, but spaces are limited for that, so sign up for it here.
