About us
start something...in London
Youth
Throughout your life at School, College or University you are constantly making decisions and choices that will affect your future - forming friendships, deciding which subjects to take, choosing whether to work hard at your studies, deciding whether to get involved in school groups and extra-curricular activities. And you never know when one of these decisions will change your life. Well here comes another one.
Ask yourself: How prepared are you for the future?
Business Support
How can you help?
We welcome your support and donations to help us continue the delivery of enterprise education in the schools and colleges across London. There are many ways in which you can support us.
Young Enterprise London volunteers come from a wide range of age groups, backgrounds and occupations. Among our volunteers are business professionals, parents, retirees, college students and secondary school students.
Schools
Young Enterprise Programmes provide all young people, regardless of their ability and background, an opportunity to nurture and realise their enterprise and financial capability as well as develop general business and economic understanding. Young Enterprise Programmes also contribute to the Key Thinking and Life Skills as well as offering pupils and students a variety of routes into ‘Work-Related Learning’. Similarly, because volunteers from local business work in partnership with teachers and tutors supporting Young Enterprise programmes, there are many opportunities to give context and meaning to the school curriculum at Key Stages 1 to 4 and beyond.
General Info
A successful London, with active citizens participating in the life of society, with more and better jobs, needs young people who leave education with the necessary skills to become lifelong learners and able to participate fully in working life in an ever changing world.
Young Enterprise London, a registered charity, provides young people in the city with direct experience of learning to work efficiently as individuals and as team members - both crucial qualities for continuing their personal and career development as adults.
Entrepreneurship programmes promoted by Young Enterprise London give practical help to schools and teachers to enable them to better respond to pupils learning needs.
