Tomorrow’s engineers, scientists, and tech innovators deserve a seat at the table 💡 Too often, decisions about young people’s futures are made without them. Mission 44’s Chiara De Luca and Deshni Pyndiah explore why philanthropy needs to move from designing solutions for young people to building them with young people. Because shaping the future of STEM starts with listening to those who will lead it. Read the blog: mission44.org/tomorrows-inno…

One year of partnership. A growing world of opportunity. 🌏 Together with @IBM, we’re working to help more young people access the skills, experiences, and networks they need to explore careers in STEM through tools and programmes such as @IBM's SkillsBuild.

What does it really mean to give young people a meaningful role in shaping the decisions that affect them? Mission 44 Youth Advisor Sandip joined us at Labour Party Conference in Liverpool - his first party conference - bringing his own experiences and perspective to conversations on AI, devolution, and community-led change. His biggest takeaway? Meaningful youth voice has to go beyond representation. Young people need genuine opportunities to contribute, challenge ideas, and help shape what happens next. In our latest blog, Sandip reflects on three days of conversations, the questions he’s taking away, and why young people shouldn’t be the exception when it comes to having a seat at the table. 🔗 Read Sandip’s reflections: mission44.org/mission-44-you…

What needs to change to better support young people’s mental health? For #YouthMentalHealthDay, we put this question to our Youth Advisors.

This #NationalInclusionWeek, we’re celebrating what’s possible when opportunity is opened up across motorsport 🏎️ Together with our partners @F1, @MtrsportAcademy, @GirlsOnTrackUK, @AFBE_UK, @DrivenByUs, @RAEngNews, and our wider community, we’re driving opportunity in motorsport. From the race track to the many careers behind it, we’re working to help more young people see that there’s a place for them in the industry. Because motorsport’s future should be shaped by talent from every background. More access. More opportunity. More inclusion in motorsport. 🏁

This #NationalInclusionWeek, the theme is 'Build Trust. Navigate Change.' - a reminder that inclusion takes more than good intentions. It takes action, accountability, and a commitment to keep moving forward. And that action must start by listening to young people. At Mission 44, we believe a more inclusive world of work starts in the classroom. That’s why our work spans classroom to career, and why we’re committed to giving young people a platform to share what needs to change. Speaking directly to school leaders, policymakers, and others with the power to shape a more inclusive education system, Brayan shared his perspective on what meaningful inclusion looks like for young people. His was one of many young voices we heard - voices that should be at the heart of the decisions that affect their education and their futures.

New school year, new possibilities 🎒 As young people head back to school, we’re reminded of what education should be: a place where every student feels they belong, their voice matters, and they have the support to thrive.
