This document discusses the work of Urban Alternatives, a project that works with young people from alternative subcultures. The project aims to identify the needs and opportunities for these groups and provide support and training through volunteers. Urban Alternatives prioritizes work with several at-risk groups. The document then presents several outreach ideas generated by volunteers, such as a photo competition and online forums. It concludes by asking participants to brainstorm their own outreach ideas and have groups present their ideas back to the room.
