We see talent, ambition and future leaders.Every young person has potential. Sometimes that potential can be hidden behind difficult circumstances, poor choices, challenging environments or situations that make it difficult to see a positive way forward.High Potential (not High Risk) is a special Inspiration & Empowerment event created to help young people recognise that they are capable of more and that there are positive pathways available to them.This isn't about judging young people for where they have been.It's about helping them think about where they could go next.Join us for an evening of real stories, positive role models, practical insight, inspiration and connections with people and organisations who want to help young people recognise their potential and make positive choices about their future.WHAT IF PEOPLE SAW YOUR POTENTIAL BEFORE THEY SAW YOUR PROBLEMS?Too often, young people can become defined by their circumstances, their mistakes or the assumptions others make about them.We want to change that conversation.You are more than your circumstances.You are more than your mistakes. You are more than a label.You have potential.And the right support, opportunities, relationships and choices can help you turn that potential into something positive.WHO IS THIS EVENT FOR?This event is particularly designed for:Young people Who need inspiration, direction or supportWho want to make positive changes in their livesWho are struggling to see a positive path forwardWho have experienced challenging circumstancesWho have recently returned to the community after a period in custodyWho may be at risk of becoming involved in crime or other harmful situationsLooking for positive opportunities, role models and supportParents, guardians and family members who are concerned about a young person's futureSiblings who want to support someone close to themProfessionals, organisations and community members who are passionate about helping young people succeedYou don't have to be at a particular point in your journey to attend.If you believe you have more to offer, or you know someone who does, this event is for you.HIGH POTENTIAL. NOT HIGH RISK.The question isn't:"What's wrong with this young person?"The question is:"What's possible when we recognise their potential and give them the right support?"We want to change the conversation from risk to possibility, from labels to potential, and from problems to pathways.Others may see risk. We see talent, ambition and future leaders.That should become one of the central messages of the entire campaign.SPEAKERS & HOSTSAdemola Adeyeba - Founder & CEO, 1000 Black Boys & Appy GroupAdemola Adeyeba is the Founder and CEO of 1000 Black Boys, a social enterprise committed to inspiring Black boys and young Black men to unleash their potential and live a life of purpose.
