Partnering with us

Helping young people to thrive both now and in the future, no matter what challenges they experience in their lives.

We provide a flexible transformational self-leadership and empowerment programme that equips young people with the essential life skills they need to deal with challenges now and in the future.

A JOURNEY TO DISCOVER THE LEADER WITHIN

The Boost programme is all about self-leadership with the aim of helping young people better deal with life’s day to day challenges. It introduces participants to discovering the leader within themselves, reminding them that they have the power to shape how they respond to situations, how being magnificent is found in small positive actions and that leading themselves with self and social awareness is rewarding, meaningful and fulfilling.

The programme is designed primarily for young people aged between 9 and 18. Older students, called group leaders, deliver the programme to younger students, facilitating the profoundness that frequently occurs during peer-to-peer coaching. When Boost group leaders see the direct positive impact of their actions on the younger students, this is extremely motivating and often a game-changer in their lives.

INVESTING IN YOUNG PEOPLE

Boost group leader training has been digitised into accessible e-learning, allowing us to expand our reach as more schools and youth organisations express interest in working with us.

The training can be conducted face-to-face depending on need levels, and we have our e-learning version so that young people can access the content online, with their own unique login, and learn from a time, place, and device of their choosing, also allowing them to practise self-leadership!

Boost is always delivered in-person by group leaders to younger Boost participants.

Who is Boost for
WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY

The county needs to invest in young people and be inspirational in the methods used to do so. The Boost project is inspirational, with young people teaching young people. It offers them so many skills including self-worth, self-leadership, workplace experience, in a way that they can all benefit and use in their future.

We live in an overconnected world with social media dominating young people’s lives. This significantly impacts how young people establish their identity as they mature, often distorting or even damaging how they see themselves. Boost brings together the best and most up-to-date understanding for building self-awareness and self-discovery. Programmes like Boost should be part of the national curriculum. It is fantastic to see Gloucestershire Constabulary leading the way in this area.

It has been wonderful to be involved in the Boost programme.  It has brought a leadership focus to our Sixth Form pupils, giving them opportunities to reflect on their experiences growing up and consider how they can support younger pupils.  The pupils have embraced the challenge to lead and are really excited to be working with the younger pupils.
