Builtaroundyoung people.
Youth Foundation Academy CIC is a purpose-driven organisation in North London. We use sport, fitness, mentoring and engagement to support young people in becoming who they want to be.
We believeeveryyoung persondeserves a chance.
We are a small, deliberate team of coaches and community workers. We started Youth Foundation Academy because the young people we knew needed real opportunities, not another leaflet.
Every programme is designed to create safe, structured and inspiring environments. We coach the sport seriously, and we coach the life around it. Confidence, discipline, wellbeing and community come together because they have to.


Develop confident, disciplined and resilient young people.
Through structured programmes, mentorship and community-focused opportunities. Sport is the vehicle. Young people are the point.
A generation that rises above limitations.
Young people who lead in their communities, choose well for themselves, and bring others up alongside them. That’s the outcome we work toward.
Fivewe coach.
Values aren’t posters on a wall. These five show up in how sessions are planned, how feedback is given, and who feels welcome to take part.
Confidence
We help young people believe in themselves. Self-belief is a skill, and we coach it like any other.
Discipline
Showing up. Doing the work. Owning the outcome. The habits we build on the pitch travel everywhere else.
Inclusion
Every young person, regardless of background or ability. Inclusion is structural, not decorative.
Community
We are part of North London, not visiting it. Programmes are built with and for local families.
Development
Long-term growth, not short-term results. We measure success in years, not weeks.
