Khulisa

Our vision is a society where young people have a voice and are empowered to live healthy, crime-free lives. We help young adults and children address the root cause of their challenging behaviour and support them to make positive life choices. We do this by delivering behavioural change programmes and by providing therapeutic support and mentors, in schools, prisons and communities. Our programmes have a strong emphasis on developing emotional resilience, improving wellbeing and raising aspiration. They support longer-term outcomes including reduced offending, improved educational attainment and employability. To ensure we reach the most vulnerable people, we intervene at all key stages of the criminal justice system: Prevent: supporting excluded young people (11-18) in schools and Pupil Referral Units Rehabilitate: supporting young and adult prisoners whilst in prison Reintegrate: supporting ex-prisioners in their transition into the community Together with our partners, we are working to develop safer, more nurturing prisons, schools and communities which empower people to be resilient, ambitious and make healthier life choices. Khulisa is an optimistic, solutions-focused organisation. We look at the challenges ahead not lightly, but as opportunities to co-design and develop solutions to some of our sector’s most complex challenges.
