We encourage the next generation
We want our young people to develop higher aspirations, to improve their skills, to add value to their lives and to avoid negative anti-social behaviour. We provide them with a high quality, safe, inclusive friendly environment to gain access to diverse and exciting opportunities. Aspire 2 Succeed passionate and enthusiastic volunteers provide active mentoring and act as local role models. Our organisation motivates young people to foster the best possible “I can and I will” attitude.
We value young people
Aspire 2 Succeed’s bold culture fosters brilliance by valuing diverse skills and experiences. We listen and act with integrity to build positive long-lasting partnerships with young people and their parents. With passionate ambition, we look for opportunities to stretch and challenge young people.
Consequently, our organisation has built a strong reputation for excellence, having strong links with community leaders, churches and the Universities of Derby and Nottingham.
We believe
- That all young people have a talent
- We must engage disengaged young people in education in order to build their self-confidence and self-awareness
- Aspire 2 Succeed must be equitable, inclusive and open to all young people from 11 to 19 years old
- While Aspire 2 Succeed is a place to excel, true transformation comes from opportunities explored and the experiences gained through coming together
- The kindness and enthusiasm of our talented and motivated volunteers will promote well-being and support our young people to do their best
- That working openly and with transparency in terms of our policies will provide a safe environment for young people to thrive
- That Aspire 2 Succeed understands and embraces the roles required to raise aspirations, improve skills, and add value to the lives of all young people
