Support Our Work
Your support helps Youth Enterprise & Employability Academy deliver mentoring, employability skills, enterprise opportunities, and safe supportive spaces for young people. Every contribution makes a real impact.
Become a Friend
To build a strong community behind our programmes and generate the funding needed to deliver them, businesses and individuals can become an official partner — or a Friend of YEEA.
A YEEA Friend is someone who gives their time to support our programmes — for example:
- Mentoring young people during events
- Offering a placement to an intern over the summer
- Supporting activities, workshops, or enterprise days
Being a Friend means joining an active community of people committed to helping young people thrive — and you may be able to take part in events and use the YEEA Friend badge for your own marketing.
