Empower Youth's Mission
Let's empower children earlier, further and deeper
Our vision is to provide a safe and engaging space where children play with purpose. Our activities blend fun and learning so they become the best versions of themselves.
Equal Opportunities
We give children equal access opportunities that connect them to high-quality learning activities and socially uplifting experiences.
Long term support
We help young people feel supported, motivated in school, at home and in life.
Safe Space
We provide a safe, engaging space where children play with purpose, learn, pray and connect through mindful activities.
Our Story
Empower Youth was founded by Javid Patel, a former accountant and father of five, who discovered during the pandemic that supporting children’s growth and wellbeing brought him more fulfilment than spreadsheets ever could.
​
What began as a solution for his own children quickly grew into a community-led programme empowering many more young people to grow in confidence, resilience and purpose.

A message from the founder
Empower Youth began during the pandemic with a simple goal, to keep children stimulated, supported and hopeful during a difficult time. Today, our holiday clubs continue to give children access to opportunities they may not otherwise have, and nothing makes us prouder than hearing parents say their children are excited to come through our doors.
We are a small, dedicated team making a big difference for young people in East London.
