Oldbury United deliver a first-class community football provision and maintain high standards of attainment both on and off the pitch. We are more than a football club, through our volunteering, coaching, mentoring, education programmes and career workshops, we develop role models and leaders for the future. We work with young people aged 10-25 years from the Black, Black British, African, Caribbean, white and Asian communities. Our projects use sport to engage young people who will be assigned an experienced mentor who will offer 1:1 and group mentoring to:
• Support them with positive activities (football, basketball, walking)
• Refer them to appropriate support/treatment agencies if required. (GP, School, college)
• Educate to achieve educational goals. (Coaching qualifications, safeguarding, first aid, talent identification personal growth)
Offer career and employability skills (identifying skills, CV writing, job identification, application submission and work experience)
• Signpost to physical activities that continue beyond the lifetime of the project. (volunteering)
