Youth Futures Foundation announces Connected Futures Fund

When young people facing disadvantage told us what they want from employment support, they talked about changes to the whole system. It is clear that these young people need:  

• holistic support that responds to their situation by taking their needs and strengths into account 
• aligned services that work together to help them achieve their goals, rather than pulling in different directions 
• connected services with effective communication and coordination across organisations and sectors so that they don’t have to navigate everything for themselves 
• consistent support over time 

We are looking for partnership bids that tackle this issue.

To be successful, applications must be strong advocates of our mission, our ‘what works’ evidence-based approach and support our values.
