My Tomorrow
Join our movement
Our ambition is to promote a positive narrative about young people in the West Midlands – will you join us?
With the support of our vast network of partners, we have launched My Tomorrow, a powerful counter-narrative campaign which is challenging the negative portrayals of young people, empowering youth voice and inspiring inter-generational conversations.
We’re collaborating to open up new opportunities for the next generation so they can shape their own futures.
Become a Change Maker
With youth-led sessions in school and in the community.
In school – The VRP has invested £70,000 in a new educational programme for schools. Change Makers has been co-designed by young people to ensure the topics discussed are relevant to young people’s lives. Schools are using the youth-led lessons to create a non-judgemental space where young people can talk openly about issues including safety, bullying, online harm, gender stereotypes and consent. To start teaching Change Makers in your school contact: [email protected]. Watch the video to find out more.
In the community – Our team of 31 young Change Makers can deliver these sessions to youth groups, professionals and community leaders across the West Midlands. They are being supported by the charity the Positive Youth Foundation. To arrange a visit contact: [email protected]

Testimonials
“I think because the Change Makers programme was created by young people and at our school it’s all youth-led by Year 12 students, they see us as role models. They talk more openly about the challenges they’re facing as young people because they know we understand.” Sixth former at Bishop Ullathorne Catholic School, Joseph Abercrombie.
“The benefits from these sessions have been amazing to see, but it’s even better when a parent tells you about the changes at home, or a teacher comes up to you and says they are doing so much better in school. That means a lot.” – Craig Jones, Founder Boxclever Mentoring
“Helping create the Change Makers programme has been a meaningful and eye-opening experience, it gave me a safe and inclusive space to grow, share ideas, and take action on issues that matter to us as young people. I got opportunities to collaborate, learn from others, and contribute to real change.” – Haya Mehager, Change Maker.
“Since being part of this project, I’ve learned that I’m more capable and confident than I originally thought, especially when it comes to speaking in front of others and leading activities. It’s motivated me to keep building my skills for the future.” – Faith Nana Benneh Ntow, Change Maker
“There’s a lot of young people who haven’t got people pushing them and making them go beyond the boundaries. If you can be a role model and give young people the message that they can achieve whatever they want to achieve, you should. Somebody’s got to do it.” – Championship boxer and My Tomorrow ambassador, Tori-Ellis Willets
