More details
The Bright Ambitions programme is an after-school tutoring, mentoring and enrichment programme for young people aged 13-16. The aim of the programme is to help young people gain the skills, strategies and support they need to get top grades, get into top universities or enter competitive careers.

Scholars on the programme receive after-school tutoring in Maths or English and they also receive support from a mentor. These tutors and mentors are all DBS checked volunteers and are passionate about making a difference in the lives of our scholars and want to see them reach their full potential. Many of our mentors have been chosen because they work in careers or went to universities that our scholars aspire to.

Our scholars also attend skill-building and enrichment activities which aim to raise aspirations and give students the confidence and strategies they need to achieve their goals.
