Junior Windsor Fellowship raises aspirations

During the last 12 years the Windsor Fellowship has been helping Britain’s brightest Black and Asian communities to achieve personal and academic success and targets. The Junior Windsor Fellowship programme is a two-year personal and educational development programme aimed at children aged 14-16 primarily from Black and Asian communities. The programme seeks to help young people to achieve personal growth as well as academic success. The programme gives students the knowledge and confidence that will help them to make informed and positive decisions about the direction of their lives.

The programme draws on role models from university to support the group of Junior Fellows as student helpers / guides. It also ensures the full support and backing of parents/guardians. Seminars are held at the Leeds Metropolitan University city campus once a month on a Saturday during term time.This enables students to experience campus life during their seminars and sows the seeds for their possible future lives at University.
