More information
Whether you’re a large retailer, small business, charity, council, or government department, your workplace could become a safe and supportive environment where a young person at risk of violence can thrive this summer.
By offering mentorship, supervision, and guidance—alongside the support of a dedicated youth worker—you’ll not only help shape a young person’s future but also bring fresh perspectives and energy into your team.
- All young people participating in the programme will be paid weekly by UK Youth, in line with the National Living Wage.
- As an employer, you’ll play a crucial role in creating opportunities that reduce risks and open doors for young people.
- Benefits to employers include diversifying your workforce, meeting your social value commitments, increased brand recognition amongst young people and local influencers in the youth sector.

“The young person was really quiet and shy when he arrived but he came out of his shell and from the start to the end of the programme his confidence improved dramatically. We didn’t treat him any differently from the rest of the team, he exceeded our expectations and I like to think he left with some useful experience and a sense of pride in what he had achieved.””
