The Latin American Youth Forum (LAYF) is a youth-led group based at IRMO (Indoamerican Refugee and Migrant Organisation) where young people can learn English, get creative, learn new skills and make friends in a trilingual space (Spanish, Portuguese and English) where everyone can feel safe and supported to find their feet in the UK.
At LAYF Spanish and Portuguese speaking young people can:
• Learn English through fun and engaging weekly ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) classes.
• Learn new skills and get inspired through weekly educational, art and theme-based workshops.
• Get support to access education, volunteer and employment opportunities through a targeted mentoring programme.
• Lead the LAYF Youth Steering Group, learn about leadership and inspire other Spanish and Portuguese speaking young people.
• Explore London and its surrounding through cultural trips and residentials.
