ReachOut UK: Empowering Young People to Achieve Their Potential
ReachOut UK is a mentoring charity that has been making a positive impact on the lives of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds for over 25 years. The organization provides weekly one-to-one support from volunteer mentors to help young people develop their character, raise aspirations, and improve their academic attainment. Through long-term mentoring relationships, ReachOut helps young people achieve their potential and go on to lead good, happy, and successful lives.
At ReachOut UK, we believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential regardless of their background or circumstances. We understand that growing up in poverty or facing other challenges can make it difficult for young people to succeed academically and socially. That's why we provide tailored support through our mentoring programs to help them overcome these barriers.
Our volunteer mentors are carefully selected and trained to provide high-quality support that is tailored to each individual's needs. They work with young people aged 9-16 in schools across London, Manchester, Oldham & Liverpool providing weekly one-to-one sessions which focus on developing key skills such as communication, teamwork and resilience.
Through our programs at ReachOut UK we aim not only to improve academic attainment but also build confidence in our mentees so they can take control of their own futures. Our approach is holistic; we recognize that academic success alone does not guarantee happiness or fulfillment in life. Therefore we focus on developing character strengths such as self-awareness, empathy & self-regulation which will enable them not only academically but also personally.
We have seen firsthand how our programs have helped transform the lives of many young people who have gone on to achieve great things despite facing significant challenges early in life. Our alumni include doctors lawyers entrepreneurs & community leaders who are making a positive impact both locally & globally.
In addition to our core mentoring program Reachout uk offers additional services including employability workshops, university visits, and work experience opportunities. These services are designed to help young people develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the workplace and beyond.
At ReachOut UK, we are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. We believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, and we are dedicated to providing them with the support they need to achieve their goals.
