UpRising is a UK-wide youth leadership development organisation.
Our mission is to open pathways to power for talented young people from diverse and under-represented backgrounds. We equip them with the knowledge, networks, skills, and confidence to fulfil their leadership potential, find new opportunities and transform the world around them through social action.
Our founding Patrons are Rt Hon David Cameron, Former Prime Minister; Rt Hon Ed Miliband MP, Former Leader of the Labour Party; Rt Hon Gordon Brown, Former Prime Minister; and Rt Hon Nick Clegg, Former Deputy Prime Minister.
We offer a range of leadership and employability programmes for 16-25 year olds. Our flagship programme is a nine month leadership programme providing ‘access behind the scenes’ training sessions with some of the UK’s most senior leaders across the political, private, public and not for profit sectors.
