ABOUT ELEMENT
SHEFFIELD. YOUNG PEOPLE. POSSIBILITY.
Element is an independent youth organisation based in Sheffield. We started with a simple idea: young people should have opportunities to do things, make things, change things and discover what they are capable of. Today our work spans Alternative Provision, youth work, practical skills, creativity, social action and partnerships.
PARTNERSHIPS
BUILD BETTER THINGS TOGETHER.
Element works with schools, commissioners, funders, businesses, employers and community organisations to create practical opportunities and responses to local need. Partnership work spans alternative provision, youth programmes, outreach, targeted interventions, and creative projects.
