'13-20 year olds in Stockholm who got into bad company and habits, in 1989 formed a club to keep themselves and others out of danger'
13-20 year olds in Stockholm who got into bad company and habits, in 1989 formed a club to keep themselves and others out of danger. They've organised make-up evenings, ski trips, and rafting; and they've cooked, sewn, ridden, body-built and video-viewed together. They meet twice a week and also patrol the streets with social workers, and visit schools. They have inspired several other such clubs in Sweden.
