“I would say Street League is one of the best opportunities I've ever had. Without it I don't think I would be in my workplace where I am today”

Darren, 21, Glasgow

Made Outside The Classroom.

We believe that school isn't one-size-fits-all. It doesn't work for everyone and certainly isn't the only way to succeed. At Street League, you can play sport everyday, learn key skills and get the qualifications you need to get a job and get paid. It’s not about having mad football skills or dancing like Beyonce, it’s about having the determination to move into work (and having fun at the same time!).

Moses win battle with Tuberculosis & weed smoking with the help of Street League - London

Moses had been out of work and education for almost a year and a half. He had heard about Street League through the Getmyfirstjob website and had been contacted by Jack, the North London Youth and Community coach, in October 2016. He did not respond well to our first phone call as he was keen to go straight into a construction course or apprenticeship. He then went to the job centre to apply for a construction course but was frustrated at the lack of progress.
