IntoUniversity provides local learning centres where young people are inspired to achieve.
They exist to help young people growing up in Britain’s least privileged neighbourhoods who have always faced an uphill struggle.
Homes are often overcrowded spaces where young people have nowhere to study, where devices are shared between siblings, and where hard-pressed families do not have spare cash for tutors and after-school activities. Few get the grades to go to university.
As a result, many families are caught in a vicious cycle, where the disadvantages of one generation are passed onto the next. This creates neighbourhoods where for decades, poverty and educational underachievement have gone hand in hand.
In these communities, IntoUniversity centres offer a safe space for young people to learn, explore and succeed, a welcoming and supportive home-from-home, located in young people’s neighbourhoods.
Through after-school study sessions, mentoring meetings and their FOCUS programme, which inspires and supports ambition, they provide the dedicated, long-term support that can break cycles of disadvantage.
