About us
Who we are
URBAN YOUTH
Your City, Your Vibe.
Urban Youth is a bold, grassroots youth work charity lighting up inner London with hope, purpose, and possibility. We work with young people aged 11–19 years old from low-income families, offering vibrant, engaging youth work that gets young people off the streets, away from screens, and into spaces where they can thrive. Through creativity, connection, and community, we help young people discover who they are—and who they can become.
Our Vision
A London where every young person—regardless of background—has the opportunity, support, and confidence to flourish, lead, and shape a brighter future.
Our Mission
To empower young people aged 11–19 years old in inner London through dynamic youth work that builds life skills, nurtures self-belief, and opens doors to opportunity—steering them away from risk and toward resilience, purpose, and community.
