Youth Provision
JADE is a young people's social enterprise, based in Kiveton Park. Their aim is to provide positive opportunities for young people - through the medium of music and performance - as an alternative to the street culture of the area. In their Wales Road Drop In Centre they work with over 150 Young People per week. They provide an innovative and bespoke service - engaging young people in positive activities - such as Music Production, DJ Techniques and positive social opportunities. Through their provision, they have seen a huge fall in Anti-Social Behaviour within the community - and have created a wealth of opportunities for Young People. JADE provide state-of-the-art Dance events - that are normally associated within large Towns or Cities - for Young People in the local area. Alongside their partner Uprising, some of the biggest names in UK Hardcore music - like DJ's Breeze and Ultrabeat - have performed for Young People in Dinnington and Kiveton Park.

Famous quotes containing the words youth and/or provision:
“And, oh God, in my misspent youth as a housewife, I, too, used to bake bread, in those hectic and desolating days just prior to the woman’s movement, when middle-class women were supposed to be wonderful wives and mothers, gracious hostesses.... I used to feel so womanly when I was baking my filthy bread.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“The caretaking has to be done. “Somebody’s got to be the mommy.” Individually, we underestimate this need, and as a society we make inadequate provision for it. Women take up the slack, making the need invisible as we step in to fill it.”
—Mary Catherine Bateson (20th century)
