Find success outside the classroom

Aged 16 to 30? Not currently in work, education or training? Get in touch.

Not everyone finds success in the classroom and not everyone gets top grades. We believe that attitude, determination and teamwork are even more important. We believe every young person should have the chance to succeed and everything we do is focused on supporting you to into work, education, an apprenticeship or training.

Here at Street League, we use the power of sport to help you achieve your full potential, building the confidence and skills needed in life and the world of work. You can play sport every day, learn key skills and get the qualifications you need to get a job and get paid. It’s not about having mad football skills or being super fit, it’s about having the determination to move into work and having fun at the same time!

FAQ'S

Is it completely free? Are there any hidden costs?

It’s completely FREE and won’t affect your benefits.

We’ll even cover your qualification costs, travel expenses, and offer you £50 worth of free Nike sportswear.

More importantly, you'll learn the skills to move into a full-time paid job, apprenticeship, training or further education which means you can take control of your own finances and have the freedom that comes with earning your own salary.

What is it actually like on a Street League Programme?

It really depends on you and your situation. We tailor support to fit with your life and schedule.

Most of our programmes run four days a week, with fun group activities and time for sport and fitness. You'll get time with a Street League Progressions Coordinator to set your goals and aspirations, which will help us build a plan for YOU to move into work, an apprenticeship, education or training. If you have other commitments - like being a carer or parent - then we can offer more focused job search support and help you quickly move into a job.

How long are the programmes?

Between 8 and 20 weeks - depending on what qualifications you're working on and what support you might need. We can get you work experience from employers to build your CV and give you the best chance of landing a job.

What industries and employers do you work with?

We work with employers in all different sectors. Last year we supported young people into jobs in care, hospitality, construction, sport, childcare, retail, armed forces, and warehousing. There are no sectors we don't work with - we support each young person on their individual journey.
