At the Centre for Youth Impact, we believe that a just and equitable society invests in support for all young people to learn, grow and explore their relationships with the world around them. We believe that young people’s lives are better when they have access to safe spaces, high quality opportunities to develop their social and emotional skills, and relationships with trusted adults. We believe that provision for young people is powerful when it is well-resourced, and designed and supported by thoughtful and skilled practitioners who are part of a sector that takes a shared approach to reflecting on quality and impact. The sector is stronger when it works together to build collective insight, and commits to act on what it is learning.
We contribute to this vision by designing and testing new approaches to understanding and improving the quality and impact of provision for young people, and working through committed peer to peer networks to embed new thinking in practice.
