Introduction

Young Urbanites is a streetwise organisation formed and run by those who have participated in or affected today’s youth culture and understand the issues young people face as they find their way in life.

The role of Young Urbanites is that of a mentor, acting as a guide to help identify and develop interests and talents that many young people are unaware they possess.

By combining participation in youth culture with academic and professional skills, we have developed unique accredited programmes that consider trends in youth culture, provide personal development opportunities, and a social education.

Using delivery styles that young people identify with, our activities will improve their own learning and performance and ability to work with others. This will improve their employment options and enhance their life chances.
