Working with Young People
Supporting young Londoners to reach their potential.
Do you want to find, or get involved in a specific youth project in London?
What we do and why:
Our vision is for every young Londoner to be able to reach their full potential. That’s why we support and coach young people to become stronger, healthier and happier.
We work collaboratively with partners across the youth, education and mental health sectors to develop projects tailored to support young people to overcome the challenges they are facing. Our experienced team engage with young people in gang and serious youth violence prevention programmes, provide mentoring and coaching, leadership training and dedicated mental health support.
We meet young people on their terms; on the street, in schools, in youth centres, on sports pitches and in our very own music studio in Peckham. With over 25 years experience of working with young people in London, Groundwork is an experienced and trusted youth services partner. We deliver hyper-local youth projects, borough wide youth services and London wide youth programmes.
Why work with us?
- We are passionate about supporting young people – we are always willing to go the extra mile and are responsive to the needs of young people, their parents, carers and the communities they live in.
- Co-production is at the heart of our work – we recognise that young people are the experts when it comes to their lives and the challenges they are facing.
- We have a culturally diverse and multidisciplinary team – with expertise in youth outreach work, education, counselling and therapy, gang prevention work and the youth criminal justice system.
