The youth mentoring or counselling programs are organised by the Action Change Foundation established by Hanif Qadir because the young people nowadays need to be taken in utmost surveillance as the crime done by them and against them are rising at a big pace. There needs to be some policy or society that keeps a check on such activities and provides resolution for the same without causing any chaos between the groups. The Active Change Foundation is one of those societies which is working on preventive measures to resolve disputes or conflicts based upon community or any other reason with the involvement of young people.

Inside the Youth & Mentoring Centre: Safe Spaces in East London- What is the meaning of safe spaces ?
Safe spaces are areas where the transforming generation of the country doesn’t feel unsafe, instead they are made to evolve in such an atmosphere where they can grow their thoughts and hate towards any community. These are places like streets where no gang wars are there, no violent activities by the young people are going on instead and so this is known as safe spaces.
Inside the Youth & Mentoring Centre
The centre is very youth-friendly and full privacy of the youth is kept in mind and a private room is provided to each person coming up for counselling. Not only counselling is provided but areas for chilling, eateries, play areas are made in the centre in order to make the youth get comfortable during the counselling. Because there will be pressure then no youth can spit out the things going inside him. The youth are also made to meet other people in the centre so that they exchange mindsets and greetings with other communities and create a positive mindset with respect to others. Some programs offered in the centre are as follows:
- Counselling sessions- these are conducted for the youth to know what that person is going through and provide a solution accordingly.
- Workshops- Some workshops with respect to life skills are also conducted to teach the person about how he should set his life goals.
