Make a vital difference to lives of young people in Greater Manchester with GMYN Copy
The pandemic and cost of living crisis have compounded the challenges facing young people in Greater Manchester.
25% more young people in the city region are likely to leave school without a job or training than the national average, and 50% more young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are not in education, employment, or training than their peers from more affluent backgrounds.*

GMYN is launching an ambitious campaign aimed at getting 200 people into training and employment by July 2024.
By working with local business partners, we will open pathways to training and employment and make a huge difference to young peoples lives.
