Essence Youth Mentoring CIC

Founded in 2021 by Natina and Kasharel, Essence Youth Mentoring CIC was born out of a shared vision to uplift and empower young females in Birmingham. Having grown up in deprived areas themselves, Natina and Kasharel witnessed the lack of support available for young women and decided to give back to their community.

With over 20 years of combined experience in youth work, their mission is to:

1. Establish Essence Youth Mentoring CIC as a professional body supporting young females in disadvantaged and vulnerable situations.
2. Provide strategic advice to schools and community programs using their expertise and research.
3. Develop resources and tools to raise awareness and support young females from all backgrounds.
4. Build a national network of professionals promoting female empowerment and sharing best practices.

Their Vision:

To inspire and empower young females by connecting them with mentors and professional women who provide real-life insights and essential life skills.

Programs Include:

• Health and well-being.
• Money management.
• Positive relationships.
• Self-esteem and confidence building.
• Anger management.
• Sexual education and hygiene.

Through these programs, Essence Youth helps young women understand their identity, realize their potential beyond societal limitations, and live without boundaries. Their ultimate goal is for every young female to fulfill her ambitions, find her self-worth, and achieve a successful future.
