The Grassroot Activators Programme is Recruiting Now!

Grassroot Activators Programme (GAP), 2022 cohort has successfully championed each young person from a disadvantaged background in Bristol to create a brighter future for themselves, away from the hardships of the past.

GAP have now announced that they are recruiting for the GAP 2023 programme.

GAP believes young people have all the talent but, in many cases limited opportunities. They would like to invite you to join them in supporting young people to create a more optimistic future. Spaces on limited so act fast!

GAP is delivered two days a week over a year. It provides young people with the tools and opportunities to achieve their full potential in education volunteering and training connections that will transform their life. The GAP programme prioritises young adults 16-30 years living in disadvantaged backgrounds in Bristol – applications from across /outside the city will only be considered if places permit.

“GAP is based on consultation with young people and communities of Bristol, a year’s research through a fellowship at Bristol Universities – School of Education. In short, there is nothing like this.”

– Ben Carpenter Founder of GAP Programme

In addition, each young person will have a dedicated youth and business mentor who will help them realise their passion, whether based on a job, college, education, or experience.

GAP champions and realises the potential in every young person to develop and achieve realistic pathways to future opportunities they are passionate about. The programme amplifies young people’s skills and talents and helps them to gain confidence in themselves and their abilities to become active citizens in their communities and wider.

Do you know a 16-30-year-old with a spark that needs support to be lit?
