How We Work
We are Aspirational

Through our educational network, we are providing young people, especially those of African-Caribbean heritage, with opportunities to meet, discuss and prepare for careers in Academia.
We are Ambitious
Working with the some of the top universities in the world such as Oxford University and Harvard University, we provide educational resources, tips and mentorship to help young people learn to be the best students they can be. We want to unlock young people's potential and see them flourish, and their ambition grow.
