Mission & Values

Mission & Values

Empower NextGen CIC is dedicated to breaking down barriers and creating meaningful opportunities for underrepresented and marginalised groups. Based in Yorkshire, starting with Leeds and Bradford, we work to uplift individuals from South Asian, Black, and other ethnic minority backgrounds, including refugees, asylum seekers, and women facing social and economic exclusion.


Our mission is to amplify voices, develop leaders, and build a future rooted in equity, representation, and opportunity. We champion inclusion by delivering high-impact programmes that nurture personal growth, leadership skills, and community resilience.


Empower NextGen stands apart from conventional service providers by reinvesting surplus funds directly into community initiatives. Our work is driven not by profit, but by purpose – ensuring sustainable social impact through mentorship, training, and partnerships that empower individuals to rise, lead, and create change within their communities.

Our Why

Our Why

We believe that every young person has the potential to become a leader - they just need the right tools, guidance, and opportunities. Many individuals face barriers such as lack of confidence, limited job prospects, and social inequalities, preventing them from reaching their full potential.


Our programs were created to break down these barriers and equip participants with the skills they need to thrive in their careers, become financially independent, and create meaningful change in their communities. By fostering confidence, advocacy, and leadership, we empower young people to integrate into society - not just as contributors but as change makers who uplift others.


We do this because we envision a world where every voice matters, every individual has access to opportunities, and every community benefits from strong, passionate leaders. Through this program, we empower young people not only to find their place in society, but to lead with purpose, uplift others, and become the change-makers of tomorrow.


Join us in creating a future where every young person can rise, lead, and empower others.
