Every £5k enables us to run a course for 50 unemployed young people

Young Million workshops

Common Purpose has been running leadership courses in the UK for 21 years. Our expertise and experience has shown that when people are inspired and connected, they’re better employees and leaders. That’s why we want to support the Young Million to build confidence, leadership skills and networks so when they find that job, they’re a step ahead.

What happens on Young Million?

The Young Million workshops will be an opportunity to learn how to lead when exposed to real-life leadership challenges - and to meet the people who face these challenges and responsibilities every day. This experiential workshop will provide a rich mix of facilitated exercises, debates, local visits and peer-to-peer learning groups.
