Harrow Level Up Programme
What's Harrow Level Up Youth Work?
Harrow Level Up Youth Work is a three-year training and development programme designed to fund both general training and youth work qualifications. Exclusively available to YHF members and associate members working directly with children and young people in Northwest London, this programme is entirely funded.
63% of our Level Up members are equity-led, but we're striving to reach 80%. If your organization is equity-led, you'll receive priority access.
Benefits:
- Funded training, tailored to you: Attend at least four sessions per year, designed around your specific needs and career aspirations.
- Professional qualifications and funding: Explore pathways to advance your expertise and receive financial support to help take your career to the next level.

Level Up prioritizes organizations that are equity-led.
