The Trustee for Youth Futures Community School Trust

Giving Philosophy

Youth Futures operates as a direct service provider rather than a grantmaking foundation. Their approach centers on meeting young people 'where they are' without judgment or conditions, providing wraparound support that addresses both immediate needs (housing, food, safety) and long-term pathways (education, employment, independence). They emphasize empowerment over charity, walking alongside young people rather than directing them.

Tips for Applicants

Youth Futures is a direct service provider, not a grantmaking foundation. Young people seeking support should complete the intake/enrollment forms on their website or contact their team directly. For education programs, the process involves: 1) Completing an enrollment inquiry, 2) Meeting with the team to discuss needs and fit, 3) Enrolling with a two-week trial period. Services are free to young people. Organizations seeking to partner or refer young people should contact the relevant program area directly. They are a registered Child Safe Organisation and all programs emphasize trauma-informed, person-centered approaches.
