Whilst there are over 10 million 18-30 year olds in the UK, they are woefully under-represented in positions of power and influence. We think that many of our country’s biggest social and economic challenges could be overcome if we effectively harnessed the leadership potential of young people.

We plant young people in real situations with real problems to learn, as well as lead, and in the process develop a new generation of leaders.

We do three things:

1. Leadership Development

We offer a year long programme of training, coaching, peer support and real world leadership experiences for young people, helping them become more aware of and better able to harness their leadership potential. This programme brings out young people’s confidence to lead and builds awareness of their values, identity and leadership style.

 
2. Organisational Development

We offer practical, hands on support and advice for organisations who want to nurture and unlock the leadership potential of young people. 

3. Campaigning

We pave the way for young people to become leaders by fighting against the barriers that prevent them from exercising leadership – demonstrating to policy and decision makers the value and potential of young leaders and persuading them to let this happen.
