IntoUniversity provides local learning centres where young people are inspired to achieve.
At each local centre, IntoUniversity offers an innovative programme that supports young people from disadvantaged neighbourhoods to attain their chosen aspiration, including further and higher education, employment and work-based training.
Our mission is to provide local support that can break cycles of disadvantage and open up new opportunities for young people. We believe in the talent of every young person, and do not limit our support to those young people who have been labelled ‘bright’ or ‘gifted’. We believe that, with support, every young person can progress to an excellent post-school destination and we are committed to helping them on this journey.
Our network has grown to 41 centres across England and Scotland – from Newcastle to Norwich and East Ham to Edinburgh – supporting over 40,000 young people each year. But each centre is just like our very first: a local hub for young people, based on their doorsteps.
We believe long-term support starting in Primary school is the best solution for neighbourhoods facing entrenched intergenerational disadvantage and low educational achievement.
IntoUniversity is the only organisation offering dedicated education centres for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds in the communities where they live, providing them with support during their school years and beyond.
IntoUniversity has shown that it can scale rapidly and effectively to address need in educational and social mobility cold spots.
IntoUniversity has effective monitoring and evaluation systems and powerful evidence of impact.
