SPRINGBOARD YOUTH ACADEMY CIO 

Springboard supports newly arrived refugee & asylum-seeking young people to thrive in the classroom and beyond, through holistic half-term, summer and Saturday education programmes that bridge the gaps in the mainstream education system. Our programmes provide a vital opportunity for young people to make friends, acquire English language and life skills and begin to rebuild their lives in the UK.
