OUR STORY
Incredible Brilliant Youth is a fun, innovative youth organisation that was set up in July 2012 to help empower and improve the confidence of young people through workshops and talks on self esteem, beauty, body image, education and employment.
Since then we've worked with over 2000 people and this number continues to grow. Workshops and talks have been delivered in schools, youth clubs, housing associations and as part of targeted detached youth work services in parks and on estates. We've worked in several London boroughs with a variety of young people, those engaged in education, members of newly arrived communities, those who are not in education, employment or training and young people with special educational needs.
Aimed at 11 to 30 year olds, our work focuses on self development and self mastery, personal care, education, employment and life skills. This is done through helping participants find to the tools to help them harness their creativity, set and achieve goals and make a positive contribution not only to their own well-being, but to the well-being of those around them. We know we cover a large age bracket and here's why - we don't believe people stop being a young person once they reach 25, it takes a while to figure things out! That's why we work with people beyond this age, because we know that they still need support. Our services are segmented however, as we know that young people of different ages need different information at different stages of their life. If you want to find out more about our workshops, talks and mentoring programme please visit our services page or email us at info@ibyouth.org.uk.
