About us
Who we are
Shadow To Shine is a charity operating in inner city London, we offer mentoring and employability skills training to young people aged between 16-25 who face barriers that are stopping them from reaching their full potential.
Our services provide young people with opportunities and the skills required to achieve their professional and entrepreneurial goals.
We strive to empower the next generation.
The Shadow To Shine model is simple yet effective; we provide training so that young people are ready for work, we then facilitate work shadowing and experiences through our partners so that our mentees have exposure to some of the best organisations in London, and finally, we pair young people with a mentor who will help guide them into long term employment.
We also cultivate an extensive network of mentors, corporate businesses and other charities with parallel ideals to promote a change in the way young people facing barriers are recruited and viewed in the workplace, we encourage a change not just in mindset of the young people, but in the employer too.
The mission is clear: we will bridge the gap between young people and their work based and entrepreneurial goals so that they have long term success in their chosen profession.
We are a small but dynamic organisation who operate mostly remotely and in the field at the various youth centres that we partner with - we do also have the option of a shared office space in a central London location. Shadow To Shine is agile and growing rapidly, expanding our contacts, service users and partnerships meaning right now we're very fast paced during this exiting time.
