VISION
The Create Foundation exists to open up opportunities for enterprising 16-30 year olds. We believe young people have the ideas and ambition to change the world.
We are inspired by what young people achieve everyday. We continue to see new platforms, businesses and products emerging that challenge conventional thinking. We celebrate youth culture and the individual and collective possibilities it creates. We believe that young people are an untapped resource and our best hope of a better future.
We believe that every good idea deserves an opportunity and that no one should be limited in their opportunities because of factors beyond their control.
WHO ARE WE
We’re a small team with ambitions to create systemic change. Our work spans from community engagement, to programme design and delivery, through to evaluation and knowledge production. We push ourselves to challenge the thinking around what young people can achieve. Wherever possible we embed young people in our decision making and employ them to execute our work.
