Welcome to Momentum
Personal Development & International Networking for
Young People
We are a not-for-profit organisation providing personal development programmes for young people. We are registered in England as a Community Interest Company. Our mission is to create sustainable change in the lives of young people and their communities.
Activities
- Programmes for young people.
- Courses for professionals.
- Consultancy services.
Our programmes are different because they:
- Put young people at the centre of everything.
- Focus on long term (up to 5 years) engagement, not one-off activities.
- Combine intensive international experiences with sustained local school or community projects.
- Require participants to work with other young people, thus creating wider impact within communities.
- Allow continual, cumulative progress within a structured international network.
- Provide a flexible framework for a wide range of other positive activities.
- Create partnerships between different individuals and organisations working with young people.
- Inject more substance into existing international links, or help to create new ones.
- Are multi-disciplinary; they are not just “about” one particular theme or skill are.
- Mix challenge with fun, and reward effort with further opportunity.
Who is Momentum For?
We mainly work with young people aged 15 – 22, especially people with fewer opportunities. When a young person starts asking “where can I go next?”, Momentum is the answer. We will help them build a CV to be proud of.
We work closely with schoos, youth organisations, universities and commercial companies. Our work is UK-focused but international in character, and we have partners in many different countries.
So What Do Young People Think?
Young people who take part in these programmes always have something to say, something to talk about, and they seem to know that their opinion counts:
- Rachel, UK
- Emma, UK
- Elena, Macedonia
