Surf and Snack Shack The Surf and Snack Shack is based within the Penistone Youth Centre was an idea based on research from the Penistone Grammar School in November 2002 by the local youth forum support staff. They found from their consultations with young people that they would like (a need from the young peoples point of view) an area in Penistone where they could have access to multi media facilities in the form of a Internet Café. At the time there was no freely available Internet access apart from at the Library and at School. The young people clearly identified these as unattractive environments and therefore don't use them to their full potential for learning opportunities. The research implied that Penistone Youth Centre would be more attractive to the young people. The objectives of the Internet Café were aimed at the 13 - 19 age group. Their intentions were to establish and maintain a steering group for the project to get young people/workers and individuals involved. Making sure that the service is what the young people want by satisfaction surveys, monitoring and feedback given from the young people. The funding agencies involved came up with some shared aims and objectives such as, to develop their Youth Centre in the use of Internet provision. Giving the young people more versatile access to multi media and accreditation training opportunities. Improve the member base and attendance of the Youth Centre along with the a fully integrated program with recreational activities merged with training to raise the attainment and enhancing social cohesion among the young people
