We are excited to share that Future Foundations supported Uprising (a fellow Generation Change member) with a successful application for funding to the Queen’s Young Leaders grant programme to scale up their Fastlaners employability programme.

Our facilitator for the first mentor training day which took place on 27th February at Uprising' offices in Birmingham was Claire Lancaster.
Future Foundations are supporting Uprising with this programme by helping to prepare Uprising Alumni to be mentors. The mentors will help to deliver training for other young people who will participate in the Uprising Fastlaners programme. We will deliver training for each cohort of mentors in how to be an effective coach and mentor. In total we will deliver this training four times a year for four years to approximately 320 mentors who will support 600 young people (18-25 year olds) into work from 2016-2019. This is therefore an incredibly exciting and important role that Future Foundations will play in helping prepare these mentors who will help other young people into work.
