YouthTheGap CIC
YouthTheGapCIC works directly with schools to tackle educational inequities and co-create solutions that ease the burden on teachers. Through workshops, training, events, audits, and their educational platform, they build long-term relationships with schools and educational staff that evolve into coalitions for meaningful and sustainable change.
They recognise educational inequity as a global crisis, with 285 million young people—17% of the global youth population—out of education. Since COVID-19, existing inequalities have deepened. YouthTheGapCIC’s long-term vision is to stretch their services globally and create worldwide impact.
Guided by decolonial frameworks, YouthTheGapCIC is committed to leading with and making a social impact that fosters intergenerational connection. They believe that addressing injustice requires everyone—not just youth—to be active cultural members of the revolution.
Founded in November 2024, YouthTheGapCIC is proud to have received the Plus X “Rising Star Award” just one week after becoming a Community Interest Company (CIC). Since launching in February 2024, they have built an active community of over 500 people and received a nomination for “Brighton Girl of the Year.”
The organisation is founded by, and predominantly led by, youth aged 22–26, Black and Global Majority individuals, LGBTQIA+ members, and those who are women-aligning. They describe themselves not just as a platform, but as a movement.
“We are here to “youth” the gaps in education. Everyone deserves accessible, meaningful and inclusive education.”
