Chevening Youth Hub is an independent, Chevening alumni-led initiative inspired by Chevening Awards values and the educational and leadership journeys of its team members through Chevening Awards and the wider UK higher education ecosystem.
Inspired by these experiences, we created a community that expands opportunities for young people and advances leadership, education, resilience, civic engagement, and positive social impact across conflict-affected contexts.
Figures that reflect Chevening Youth Hub's community impact over two years through guidance, professional development, and knowledge-sharing.
Participants benefited from guidance activities designed to strengthen their understanding of Chevening, develop their essays, prepare for interviews, and build confidence.
Participants joined knowledge-sharing sessions covering education, leadership, scholarships, career readiness, health, wellbeing, and professional development.
Chevening Youth Hub reached young people from seven fragile and conflict-affected contexts across the Middle East and North Africa.
