Beyond School - 18+

Building Connections Together

As people end their time at school, we want to work with them and learn from the contribution they continue to make in life - whether through formal education, work or in other ways. This can include advice and guidance for those wishing to continue their studies in York or elsewhere in the UK. Beyond this, in a brand new initiative, we want to bring together young adults from across the world in 2027...


CONNECT 2027

Taking place in London from 24 to 28 June 2027 our CONNECT event will gather young professionals, students and others from the UK and around the world to explore the most pressing issues facing our future. To join, either as a participant or to help develop this project, get in touch via the link below.



Our Values

Embrace England work in collaboration with Bootham School, York College, and others to provide life changing educational experiences for young people… at least that is our aim and we hope our students and their parents agree:

"From start to finish, every detail was organized with such precision, creativity, and care… every part was just absolutely perfect."
Niels – Participant, 2024

"You take away all our worries as parents. You understand very well that the most important thing in our lives is in your hands."
Embrace England Parent, 2025

For over 15 years, we have been welcoming young people, supporting them, and helping them give their very best to each other. We believe in the power of connecting people from around the world; giving them the skills, friendships, and confidence to grow together and build a better future. Here are some of the ways we do this...
