At Youth Futures Foundation, our mission is to improve employment outcomes for young people from marginalised backgrounds.
Currently, too many young people are failed by the services that are supposed to help them. When we asked young people facing exclusion about their experiences of employment support, they told us about services that don't take account of their circumstances, pull them in different directions, or simply don't offer what they need. Young people have to fight for support to deal with the whole range of barriers they face, and too often they are only offered cookie-cutter solutions.
