We are dedicated to educating and helping disadvantaged young people in deprived areas of Birmingham. We provide positive, structured, and relaxed environments where young people can improve their lifestyle choices through positive projects and discussion workshops, utilising healthy activities and support programs to influence social change.
We promote teamwork, communication, trust, respect, building confidence, interpersonal skills, and raising self-esteem and confidence. All projects are receptive to individuals from a wide range of social backgrounds and ethnicity.
Our organisation aims to promote a new way forward by allowing young people to take responsibility for leading and developing projects to meet their needs. Courses and training are part of the development process to encourage leadership skills and improve the life skills young people require for their transition into adulthood.
Inspire2 fully recognises young people need regular participation in positive healthy activities to help them cope with change and increase personal responsibility, aiding them to develop and learn new skills whilst interacting with other young people who have the same interests, goals, and aspirations.
Inspire2 volunteers are passionate about working with and empowering young people to ensure they have the best possible opportunities to fulfill their potential whilst providing activities to keep them motivated.
The activities in place are directed towards goal setting, educating and preventing young people from falling into a life of crime and anti-social behavior, with access to a support program that gives young people the opportunity to find solutions to their problems, learn self-help techniques and educate them to make better lifestyle choices. We aim to give young people the opportunity where necessary the support to participate and influence decisions and engage in actions and activities that contribute to building a better community for the future.
Through our clear determination and commitment to inspire, motivate and support underprivileged young people while equipping them with the capabilities to become productive and valid members of their communities, the Inspire2 organization remains highly motivated in delivering projects and activities that allow young people to take ownership of their learning.
