Street League uses the power of sport to support young people INTO EMPLOYMENT

OUR VISION: A society in which all young people have the opportunity of secure employment and a brighter future.

our mission: Using sport and education, we help young people into work.

Sport is at the heart of what we do and what makes us successful. We support young people holistically, recognising the inextricable links between wellbeing, health and employment. We use the power of sport to help young people, aged 16-29, who face personal barriers to employment to improve their wellbeing, secure employment and have a brighter future. We work in communities and with employers to equip young people with the confidence, motivation, essential skills and qualifications needed to succeed in the world of work.

Our vision is meaningful and connected to the work that Street League does. It emphasises young people and the sustainability and quality of the jobs we want them to move into. ‘Secure’ reflects the safety that a high-quality job can offer, which pays a fair living wage and provides security when many of the young people we work with have had chaotic and insecure starts in life. Skills development, qualifications and wellbeing are core within of the services we offer and act as the ‘building blocks’ for each young person to build a brighter future.

WHAT WE DO

We help young people build the essential skills they need to achieve their potential. In school, in life, and in work.

Here’s how we’ve helped previous participants:

HOW WE HELPED LEWIS
FIND HIS DREAM JOB

 

Sport had always been a passion, but Lewis lacked the self-belief to pursue it. That’s when he found Street League. At first, even stepping into the programme was a challenge. But with the support of the Street League team, Lewis gradually rediscovered his love for football. That passion reignited his drive, helping him build motivation, resilience, and the confidence to take the next step.

HOW WE HELPED MATEA REACH HER GOALS

 

For Matea, being a full-time carer for her mum meant putting her own ambitions on hold. But through Street League’s Female-Only Academy, she found the support she needed to take her next step.
