Listen first.
Start with the person’s interests. Ask what they want to try and what support would make it possible.
For teachers, mentors & community leaders
See an interest.
Help it go somewhere.
A first local job or sale can help a young person practise responsibility, communication and confidence.
Togetheroo connects young makers, local skills and appropriate neighbour jobs, with adults arranging participation. Start with a small group, a clear organiser and a goal you can actually observe.
The walkthrough is illustrative. It does not create a participant, approve an activity or award a credential.
A project is a reason to practise
Make the learning visible.
Build a small plan.
Name the organiser, location, access arrangements, guardian responsibilities, cost and an achievable activity.
Record what happened.
Keep attendance and feedback, then record a milestone with evidence. A stored label is not independent accreditation.
Participation with care
The support matters
as much as the idea.
Using a teacher or organisation profile does not prove professional credentials or appoint anyone as a child’s guardian.
Read the safety approach ↗Confirm adult responsibilities.
Agree who leads, supervises and responds to concerns. Complete relevant organisational checks before involving young people.
Keep participation voluntary.
Ask about access and communication needs. Under-18 participation requires the appropriate guardian consent.
Separate examples from outcomes.
Use the walkthrough to explain the idea. Use actual records and participant feedback to report results.
A conversation worth having
Could this work with your group?
Tell Bulent about the people you support, your suburb and one practical activity you could explore. Start with a discussion, then agree the pilot and responsibilities together.
