There is 6 trustees that have the responsibility of managing the needs of the project as well have the right to raise issues they feels needs to be answered in coherence to the constitution of the project. The trustee would be in power to recruit advertising for the management committee as well as make policies to safe guard the project. 2 Preston Lodge high School students (S4-S6) would be invited to represent the local young people and the high school to promote a high standard of service to the local community of prestonpans.

Prestonpans Youth Community Project would work at a high standard to ensure that best possible opportunities arise for the young people of the local area. The project wishes to work closely with existing local agencies and services and operate in the streets of prestonpans to create a link and to offer assistance when required.

Volunteers would be inducted to the project and be provided training to do the job and ensure that each volunteer is ready to take on their chosen position within the project. Each Volunteer would continued to be supported by a lead worker there assigned to and would be encouraged to go on external training courses provided by LAYC as well as internal Training provided by the project.

Prestonpans Youth Community Project would invite volunteers to regular staff training so that they get to know each member of staff throughout the program, it also promote team building and a creates a stringer team in the long run.

The course range from youth dynamic award-duke of Edinburgh award. The project would also offer works shops that range from road safety for aged 6-8 to anti bullying for aged 8-16.
