Young People

Investing in young Londoners is investing in the future of our city. That’s why we’re putting £40 million into education and youth programmes so that more young people have the chance to achieve their full potential. This includes our Education Programme, which has been designed to deliver the 12 recommendations of the Mayor’s Education Inquiry, the £10 million European Social Fund youth programme and the Mayor's Academy and mentoring programmes.
