1Up Collective is a multi disciplinary group that works to help young people identify and reach their potential through education and social inclusion.
How we work
We drive change by
Delivering bespoke programmes and interventions for young people
Training organisations working with young people
Advising organisations that want to engage with young people
All of our programmes follow our Theory of Change (i.e. how and why a change will happen) and the needs of the groups we are working with.
Our programmes involve a mix of different activities - from 1:1 coaching/mentoring, to use of sports and arts, to tailored interventions for individual young people or communities (i.e. tuition, anger management, gang involvement).
We follow a number of core principles to ensure consistency across all of our work:
1
Young people’s needs are central to all design and delivery
2
We evaluate impact and make our results transparent
3
We exist to empower those who work directly with young people
4
We believe partnerships between educators, businesses and young people are mutually beneficial
