OUR PROGRAMMES:
RISE UP
Rise Up is an innovative leadership programme for adult youth practitioners who work directly with London based young people affected by violence.
Rise Up has demonstrably succeeded in deepening youth practitioners’ skills, networks and practice. Hundreds of alumni continue to use their strengthened knowledge to support young people more effectively.
Rise Up is delivered by the Leap Confronting Conflict team in partnership with London Youth and Clore Social Leadership and funded by the Mayor of London’s Violence Reduction Unit (VRU).
Our vision is for a society in which all young people in conflict have routes to positive support that can transform their opportunities, our Rise Up training provides youth practitioners in London with the skills and knowledge to make this a reality.
