A social mobility charity helping young people broaden their horizons and prepare for fulfilling futures.
In the UK, family income is the strongest predictor of how well a young person will do at school and the future opportunities they will have. Future Frontiers exists to change this. We connect businesses with local schools to run programmes that help under-resourced young people build careers knowledge, employability skills, confidence and connections to unlock their potential.

about us
Empowering Young People for a Brighter Future
Too many young people from low income households are not reaching their potential, not because they lack talent or motivation, but because they lack resources and opportunities which are readily available to their more advantaged peers.
We aim to level the playing field by helping young people from low-income households build confidence, learn about the world of work and connect with professional role models—so they can aim high and reach their full potential.
What we Do
We work in partnership with schools and businesses across London to deliver programmes for young people that combine personalised careers coaching, skills development and exposure to professional role models.
Together, we equip young people aged 14-19 from low-income households with the knowledge, skills, confidence and connections that will help them to broaden their horizons and prepare for fulfilling futures.
Since 2013, we have supported more than 12,000 young people.
Our programmes include:
Careers Exploration for 14-15 year-olds
Year 10 pupils attend a series of sessions at a partner business, working with volunteer coaches to learn more about the professional world and explore their options.
Employability Skills & Transition Support for 15-16 year-olds
Year 11 pupils attend workshops in school and receive support and resources as they navigate applications for and transition into post-16 options.
Sector Insight & Employability Skills for 16-18 year-olds
Opportunities for older students to learn more about the workplace, the skills they’ll need to succeed and the opportunities available in different sectors.

Our Work
Directly supporting young people
Future Frontiers is an award-winning education charity. We work with schools and businesses across the UK to provide a programme of coaching and access to professional role models to young people aged 14-16.
Our programmes are transforming futures for young people from low-income backgrounds. Students gain confidence, self-belief and a clearer sense of direction. Schools and businesses see the real impact of guidance, skills and connections.
Vanessa
Year 10 Pupil
“I feel like this programme really helped me to find out what I want to do, because before I didn’t really know. Talking with my coaches gave me more confidence to talk to other people. Now I have good hopes for the future.”
Chris
Year 10 Pupil
"Thank you for coaching me! When I become successful in the future I will remember you. Thank you for helping me understand what steps I'm going to have to take in the future.”
Mariam
Year 12 student
“Before going to this programme, I wasn’t really keen on what I wanted to do, and I wasn’t really motivated. After speaking with my coach, I actually got really engaged with school. I started revising more frequently because I realised that I wanted to do BTEC health and social care."
Saida
Careers Lead,
Stoke Newington School & Sixth Form
“This genuinely is the best programme ever! It got the absolute best out of the kids. I can’t wait to get them started on the Year 11 programme. The students love their coaches and ask me every week 'is it still happening?'"

“A big thank you to Future Frontiers for providing me with the opportunity to coach a mentee, I found the experience incredibly valuable and took a lot away from every session. It was great to learn more about a new sector and to gain coaching skills that will support me in the future.”

‘’An incredibly rewarding and well-structured programme, helping students identify their skills, explore suitable careers, and discover pathways.
