Youth Aspire Connect
Youth Aspire Connect support young people to aspire to achieve their aspirations by creating opportunities, providing support, and fostering an environment where they can envision and work towards a successful future.
Every year they take 100 young people, aged 11-17 years, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds across Hull and East Yorkshire to the University of Oxford and University of Cambridge to broaden their horizons and inspire them to aim higher in their academic and career pursuits.
The trip offers young people great opportunity to network, meet role models who demonstrate that success at a prestigious university is attainable. These trips have been transformative, instilling a sense of possibility and ambition in the life of the young people they support.
They organise youth conferences, career fairs, and workshops in partnership with schools and organisations, where young people can learn about different professions, meet professionals, and explore career options.
“The community engagement activities helped us to effectively establish an understanding of a range of mental health issues affecting young people in the Hull BME communities”
