Fresh Youth MK
Fresh Youth MK provides one to one mentoring and empowerment sessions to young people (16-24) in Milton Keynes with a particular emphasis on members of the BAME community in areas of deprivation. In MK there are 10 areas in the top 20% most deprived wards across the UK.
Volunteers
Volunteers are the lifeblood of any community that keep the vital organs of the society functioning effectively. In Milton Keynes, they are the linchpin for the services provided by FreshYouthMK to its beneficiaries, as these volunteers help in feeling the pulse by identifying the level and type of support required by our beneficiaries. They are also an essential part of the delivery of our services especially in providing mentoring and empowerment programmes.

Schools & Colleges
Schools and Colleges are the hub for most youths especially BAME teenagers (16 – 19) and are therefore key stakeholders in the FreshYouthMK programme. There is a collaborative initiative with institutions across Milton Keynes as a means of calibrating the framework for onboarding BAME Youths as we support them on their long-term educational, career and business prospects by providing the much-needed support in terms of mentoring and empowerment.

Businesses & Employers
Having the opportunity to utilise acquired skills from either a Secondary School, College, Apprenticeship, University, or Internship can be invaluable to any community. This is an effective antidote to social issues and improve social mobility. This is core to our engagements as we seek to collaborate with businesses and employers in building the pipeline of BAME Youths and Young Adults in Milton Keynes into world of work with necessary life skills.

What The People Say
Some of our Young Voices
Alexandrea W
Psychology Graduate
As a young woman in the BAME community it is refreshing to see people band together to positively mitigate my experience of the barriers that the world gives to someone like me. I believe you can make a difference starting from your corner of the world and Fresh youth MK will do that for myself and others that are similar to me.
Shalman I
Economics Graduate
I think especially during covid a lot my fiends and young people in general are looking for employment. And they have had the steps to achieve their career goals halted or they have had to reroute the original pathway/process they wanted to follow. I think mentors are essential in guiding young people especially now considering how this generation are facing some of the biggest difficulties and obstacles and they need to guidance to manoeuvre around all this chaos.
IS
Finance Graduate
From University I got to know a lot of people from disadvantaged backgrounds who lacked either a strong role model or a mentor in their life. Quite a lot of young people who want to become lawyers, doctors etc don’t actually know the best way to become these job roles. They don’t have the opportunity or exposure to individuals who may be able to help equip them with requisite intangibles and skills needed to succeed in achieving and sustaining role in whatever career they want to pursue

I think the most difficult thing when you are young is working out where you might end up. A mentoring scheme helps you understand your potential options
Precious O
Nottingham University
I think the mentoring programme is a brilliant idea, especially as I’ve seen a lack of this in Milton Keynes. I am part of a few BAME mentoring programmes but it’s always been difficult for me in terms of transport and ease of communication due to the offices being in London. I would take full advantage of a business exposure programme like this.
