Academic Support
Academic Support encourages young people to become active, curious and independent learners.
We deliver an impact-driven programme of support to students aged seven and up.
Our multi-stranded programme includes after-school Academic Support sessions helping young people with their school work; one-to-one mentoring opportunities with university students or corporate volunteers; a series of aspiration-raising workshops in partnership with local schools, universities and businesses; and career insight opportunities, including insight sessions and work experience.
