The Gifted operates across Hertfordshire, Essex and North London. Delivering creative workshops and assemblies to disadvantaged Young People. We are always looking for volunteers who have a heart for Young People, particularly those who come from disadvantaged backgrounds
We believe that every Young Person should have the opportunity to discover their gifts and be given the tools not just to survive, but to thrive in life. Our unique programmes help 11-25 year olds become equipped and able to face the plethora of challenges affecting Young People today.

Volunteer
Our Volunteer Sessional Project Workers (VSPW) support young people in their development and growth journeys. By coaching and facilitating, you’ll play a key role in enabling young people to develop and build mindsets and resilience that will carry them forward.
Fundraise
Whether you’d like to hold a coffee morning, walk 500 miles, cycle to Amsterdam or a sponsored silence, your efforts will change a young person’s life.
If you have an idea, we’d love to chat about how we can help make it a reality.
Become a mentor
If you are a woman in business, an entrepreneur, or have the skills to inspire and become a mentor, we would love you to hear from you.
We have different mentorship options available.
Partner with us
We need more partners to help finance the work we do to improve the lives of disadvantaged young people in North London, Hertfordshire & Essex. If your organisation is passionate about young people, we’d love to discuss how we can work together.

“I was excited to find out how to feel good about myself. I have learned that my insecurities are great and that no matter what anyone says, I am beautiful. I will try to ignore what people say and try to compliment myself more. Some people can make your day no matter what, so I need to stick with the people who make me happy and try to make bonds with people that make me feel happy and strong.”

I have learned that not all beauty is on the inside and how to accept my beauty and to ignore people’s negativity. I don’t need to be pressured and let myself get into bad situations. I now know how to stop getting into situations I don’t want to be in.”
