Envision Birmingham

Envision is a youth education and empowerment charity which works with 16-19 year olds in schools and colleges to help them realise their own capacity to make a differernce. This is both making a difference to the world around them (their peers, their school community, their local area or even the global stage) and to themselves in terms of increasing their confidence and enhancing their team-work, communication, organisation and leadership skills. We support them to look at the issues affecting the world and impacting on them or young people like them, and to then devise and implement their own projects to tackle these issues. Previous projects have included those centred around the issues of homelessness, climate change, healthy living, fairtrade, recycling, sexual health, bullying, crime and multiculturalism.
