ABOUT US
Opportunity Hub is a youth-led organisation focusing on bridging the gap between opportunities, access to information and young people.
We began in 2018 and have been working at spreading awareness of a range of opportunities to young people. Our focus also entails self-care, self-development and educational resources that we can share with the community.
>> THE PROBLEMS:
-
Lack of awareness of opportunities & resources available
-
Lack of focus on mental well-being, self-awareness & development
-
Lack of sufficient teaching surrounding life-changing topics e.g finances.
>> OUR SOLUTIONS:
1. The Hub: a space for young people to access help from one another, resources and opportunities.
2. Workshops + Programmes: using creative ways to teach young people about creative pathways
3. Events: To embrace talent and creativity + focus on wellbeing
4. Newsletter: share opportunities and resources
