Options 4 Change
"Changing Lives and Minds For Better"
Options 4 Change is a specialist grassroots youth organisation that is part of the UK wide national franchise of the Black Boys Can network. The charity is passionate about supporting disengaged youths from seven to 19 years from ethnic minorities and re-engaging them back into main stream society by providing various innovative initiatives that are aimed at encapsulating its slogan of “Changing Minds & Lives for the Better”. This belief is gained through the promotion of partnership work to develop disengaged communities; working closely with young people on activities that will enhance access to educational resources and through peer-to-peer mentoring; providing personal development programmes to individuals through either one-to-one support or in workshops and providing advocacy support to challenge inequalities.

Our Mission Statement:
“We have the community at heart. We develop initiatives for better outcomes for young people and their support network. We actively promote social inclusion, community cohesion and a better future for all” |
