Street Elite
Street Elite is a sport-for-development programme delivered in partnership with The Change Foundation, which provides coaching and mentoring for young people on the edge of gangs and crime.
Street Elite is a year-long coaching and mentoring programme delivered by The Change Foundation. It supports young people into secure employment, education or training opportunities.
We have been supporting Street Elite since 2013. Over 100 young people take part each year, and on average over 80% of them transition into work or education.
The majority of the coaches who deliver Street Elite have come through the programme themselves, making them ideal role models and mentors for the young people involved.
In 2022 we worked with The Change Foundation to produce a toolkit for youth providers and employers, sharing what we’ve learnt together about working with this cohort of young people.
