KFC Youth Foundation

Who we are

The KFC Youth Foundation is the corporate foundation that was setup in 2015 and is financially supported by KFC UK&I. The KFC Youth Foundation is a charity.

Since its inception in 2015, the KFC Youth Foundation UK is committed to empowering young people to build brighter futures. Through funding grassroots organisations and delivering innovative programmes, we create safe spaces, provide mentoring, and develop life skills that help young people overcome barriers such as economic disadvantage, care experience, and limited access to education or employment.

By investing in community projects and partnerships, we support thousands of young people every year with opportunities to grow in confidence, gain employability skills, and access meaningful work.

Together, we’re unlocking potential and inspiring the next generation to thrive.

Our culture and values

Our core values are to empower young people to take control of their lives and make positive changes for themselves and to create viable career opportunities for youth workers. We want to be champions for change, leading the way in making youth work a credible profession and providing a platform and a voice for young people and youth workers, by offering Youth Work Apprenticeships and Training. We know that the power of change comes from the ability to collaborate, so we want to work with trusted partners to execute our shared goal of supporting young people to fulfil their potential.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

The KFC Youth Foundation is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability or gender identity. The KFC Youth Foundation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment.
