Our Principles

The Shedderz Principles were set by the founding members of Youth Shedz. These are the standards by which we aim to deliver all Youth Shedz.

  • We beg, we borrow, but we do not steal.
  • Everybody matters, everybody is valued.
  • There has to be give and take – it is not a one-way street.
  • We live for the moment, but we plan for tomorrow.
  • We accept and we are accepted.
  • We create a safe and secure space where people can turn to.
  • We leave a legacy for other young people to be a part of.
  • We serve our community, not just ourselves.
  • We might not have the skills, but we’ll learn the skills we need.
  • We eat together, we be together.
  • We enjoy the journey together – the highs and the lows.
  • ‘No pressure’ does not equal ‘no commitment’.
