Corporate Champions
Young people in York are facing very difficult challenges: many do not have a trusted adult in their life to offer the support and guidance they require to realise their own unique potential and to understand their valued place and importance to our city.
Young people accessing our mentoring service are in need of a trusted adult they can rely on to inspire them. With your help as a Corporate Champion, we can provide a child, their family and mentor with the support they need.
By helping us to to provide youth mentoring Corporate Champions are supporting local youth now, helping them grow in confidence, resilience, life‑skills, educational attainment — but they are also investing in the future workforce of our city: more engaged citizens and more skilled employees.
