WHAT WE DO

We see potential where others see barriers.

At 16 Yards, we work alongside young people connected to the justice system, helping them transform skills tied to survival into tools for success. Through mentorship, education, and real-world opportunities, we invest in their futures—unlocking their potential to contribute, thrive, and lead in their communities.

Our work isn’t just about individual growth; it’s about collective impact. By helping young people shift their focus to prosocial and entrepreneurial pathways, we create a ripple effect that strengthens entire communities.

For professionals in youth work, social services, education, and community engagement, we provide practical tools, training, and consultancy that bridge the gap between lived experience and best practice. Grounded in action and informed by evidence, we ensure every connection leads to better outcomes.

’It's not what you've done, it's who you can become.’
