We believe...

  • That young people of all circumstances can succeed and achieve their potential with the help and support of role models.
  • High profile role models from all walks of life can make a positive difference to a young person’s life and in a relatively short amount of time.
  • We can shape young people’s aspirations and help them realise their potential through mentoring.
  • A structured and trusting relationship will bring young people together with caring individuals who offer guidance, support and encouragement aimed at developing their competence and character.
  • Providing outcome focused early intervention mentoring programmes for young people with the greatest need, we can assist them in receiving support and guidance from a mentor; improve their academic performance; improve interpersonal relationships between young people and their peers, teachers, other adults, family members, and future employers; reduce the dropout rate of young people; and reduce juvenile delinquency and involvement in gangs.
At Urban Synergy, we focus on early support, to build confidence and help young people see what’s possible for their future.

Our school seminars work to bridge the gap between the classroom and the workplace.
These programmes are specially designed to inspire and empower young people.

We introduce them to role models who have overcome similar barriers, that raise their aspirations, offer a path to follow, and pass on the confidence to write their own future.
