Introducing the Young Foundation
We are a centre for social innovation based in London, with a 50 year track record of success in creating new organisations - public, private and non-profit - as well as influencing ideas and policies.
Our Launchpad team creates innovative new organisations in health and education.
Our local innovation work includes practical projects involving neighbourhoods, wellbeing and the future of cities.
Our research covers changing needs, crime, social innovation, civility and belonging. We work locally around our base in east London, throughout the UK, as well as internationally.
Highlights
Opening doors to apprenticeships
Apprenticeships form one of the four main learning routes for young people aged 14-19, and will play a critical role in achieving 100 per cent participation under the Raising of the Participation Age from 2013. Significant numbers of young people, however, continue to experience barriers to accessing and succeeding in Apprenticeships.
