About us
At Think for the Future, our mission is clear: to engage,  educate, and empower young people, nurturing their social and emotional  resilience, independence, and self-control to unlock their full potential. We  primarily operate within secondary school settings, where we provide invaluable  support to young individuals, equipping them with the social and emotional  resilience needed to surmount the various obstacles they may encounter in their  education and lives.
     
Our focus lies with pupils who often find themselves disengaged from education, on the brink of exclusion, or burdened by low  aspirations. At Think for the Future, we offer them an opportunity to not only  strive but to excel in both their academic and personal development. This  transformation is made possible through delivering a strong and relatable curriculum covering all areas of social and emotional resilience leading to the evidenced results of heightened aspirations, and improved behaviour.

To reach and inspire these pupils, we enlist relatable  individuals who can establish enduring connections with young people. Our team members confidently deliver a comprehensive curriculum, covering a wide  array of topics, ranging from anger and impulse management to motivation and  determination. We are committed to making a lasting impact and creating a  brighter future for the young people we work with.
