At age 15 young people move into the Lifeline project.  Again the emphasis is on personal development but also spiritual development.  The centre of this programme is every Wednesday night at the YI project Centre (8-10pm) where boys and girls get together.  There is also single sex programmes coming from this.

For the more dramatic young people out there Creative Cultural Crosslinks (CCL) is the perfect programme for those aged 14-18.   This programme uses the creative arts to break down the barriers and build up relationships between people from East and West Belfast with young people from the Chinese Welfare Association.  The project has been running for eight years and runs every Monday night.  For more information contact Lynda on (90) 431139.

In order to run all of YI projects the staff rely heavily on young people helping run the programmes.  Young leaders become volunteers and commit to one year of service.  Currently there are over 50 young people who have committed to doing this.
