William volunteers in a varied range of outreach projects in the United Kingdom to tackle some of the issues associated with young people in the NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) category which includes low educational attainment, homelessness, and gang membership. These young people are thought pro-social behaviours and work skills so they may have a purpose in life to become active citizens in the community.
