Youth Forward

🧑🏽‍🏭 Apprenticeship & Career Pathways

Not every young person thrives in the classroom. We connect them to practical, hands-on training and apprenticeship routes across different sectors:

• Trades & construction

• Tech and digital media

• Retail & hospitality

• Local government and public services

“We help young people discover careers they can grow in — not just survive in.”

🧠 Education Support & Confidence Building

Whether a student is falling behind or quietly unsure of their path, we offer:

• Homework and revision help

• Term-time check-ins and study groups

• Exam stress and public speaking workshops

• Safe spaces for youth to express themselves

🚀 Youth-Led Business Support

Got an idea? A product? A plan to start something real?

We support young people who want to build their own ventures — from clothing lines to creative services.

• Mentorship in branding, budgeting, and customer outreach

• Support finding start-up grants or local backing

• Hosting “Build Something” Days for young entrepreneurs

“Not every young person wants a job — some want to build one.”

🤝 Mentorship That Matters

We match youth with mentors who understand their background — not just their CV.

• Monthly 1:1 sessions

• Creative career Q&A events

• Long-term guidance for life skills and growth

Special focus on:

• Youth with no access to career support at home

• First-generation students or business dreamers

• Those facing mental health, faith, or identity pressures

🎤 Youth Leadership & Local Voice

We don’t speak for youth — we help them speak for themselves.

From leading community surveys to designing events, we fund and support youth-led ideas that bring their vision to life.

“We’ll back your idea. Let’s build it together.”

🤝 Partner With Youth Forward

We’re looking to collaborate with:

• Local schools & colleges

• Apprenticeship providers

• Charities supporting NEET youth

• Tradespeople, artists, and professionals ready to mentor
