Get Involved
There is a role
here for you
Whether you are a corporate partner, a young professional with something to offer, or a young person ready to take your career seriously, there is a way in.
Make social mobility part of your story, and have the evidence to show it
We offer corporate partners a credible, well-run way to back social mobility, one that goes well past a cheque and a logo.
- Named recognition as a headline or supporting partner at events and across our materials
- A dedicated slot in the workshop to talk about your organisation and the careers in it
- A post-event report for your ESG reporting and stakeholder updates
- Early sight of motivated, high-potential talent from underrepresented backgrounds
- An invitation to programme events, including the closing networking session
- Your name alongside a programme that meets full safeguarding, GDPR, and financial compliance standards
Lead something that matters, and build skills that last
Catalysts, our volunteers, do a lot more than help on the day. They shape strategy, run operations, support participants, and gain genuine experience doing so.
- Hands-on leadership across strategy, operations, and running events
- Mentoring from Torchbearers with senior corporate backgrounds
- Proper recognition for what you contribute and what you learn
- Access to our network of corporate partners and speakers
- A real, evidenced line on your CV
Your ambition is enough to get started
!GNITE is for young people aged 14 to 25 who want more and are ready to put the work in. It is free to take part, because our partners cover the cost.
- Four in-person workshops a year in London, each on a skill that counts
- Access to speakers who have done exactly what you are setting out to do
- A Catalyst mentor to support you through the programme
- A line to corporate partners and the opportunities they have
- A group of peers who are as driven as you are
Where the funding comes from
Every place on !GNITE, and every Catalyst's development, is made possible in part by Spark Initiatives' performance practice clients. If you lead a business and want your success to fund the next generation of talent as a matter of course, not just a one-off donation, this is what that looks like in practice.
