Who We Are
The Us Programme, founded in 2016 by Victoria Azubuike, is a project with the mission to help educate and inspire young females mainly from disadvantaged backgrounds to break boundaries and achieve goals.
We understand that part of the way of becoming an individual who makes a positive impact is to learn the secrets from those who are already succeeding and by seeking out available opportunities.
We aim to do this by offering self development, continuous support to ambitious female students and special access to a network of successful women in industry dedicated to sharing their knowledge and willing to helping you on your journey.
Aimed at female students aged 15 to 19 (currently sitting GCSEs, A-levels or BTECs), our annual conference is comprised of many elements including case studies, panel discussions, group presentations, interactive workshops, networking opportunities and an on-going support and mentoring scheme.
Aims
EDUCATE
The Us Programme aims to help educate young females between the ages of 14 to 19 who are keen to learn about how they can achieve their career goals. We aim to offer a support system during our students’ academic careers through our annual conferences and development sessions.
NETWORK
We hope to be a bridge that allows eager, intellectual and determined females to build long lasting relationships with professionals and like minded individuals.
DEVELOP
We understand without constant personal development it is not possible to reach our full potential. By providing our development sessions and annual conference we hope to encourage young women to pursue their chosen career path.
Our mission is to continue to grow through engaging more female students and through our collaborative efforts with partner organisations.
Meet The Girls
We are excited to reveal a secret project we've been working on with 7 of our wonderful Us Programme girls.
