Eritrean Bethel Church
Empowering Futures
Bethel Youth Empowering Futures is a church-led initiative dedicated to fostering personal growth, leadership, and community engagement among young individuals. Developed by Bethel Church, it was created in response to the unique challenges faced by youth in Haringey, one of London’s most deprived boroughs. With the majority of our church members and attendees being second-generation immigrants, we will be designing workshops to aid and uplift young people by equipping them with essential skills, mentorship, and opportunities. Through community service initiatives and educational support, we aim to empower youth to overcome barriers and build bright futures.
Who We Are
Bethel Youth Empowering Futures is a project of Bethel Church, a vibrant faith-based community rooted in Haringey, London. Our church has long recognised the challenges young people face, particularly in underprivileged areas. Haringey is one of London’s most deprived boroughs, where economic and social disparities impact opportunities for youth. Many of our church attendees and members are navigating the complexities of cultural identity, educational barriers, and social integration.
As a church, we are committed to holistic development—spiritually, mentally, and socially. We believe that empowering young people with the right tools and support will not only benefit their personal growth but also contribute to the well-being of their families and the wider community. Our initiative stems from a deep desire to nurture a generation of resilient and confident individuals who can thrive despite the challenges they may face.
What We Do
To address the challenges facing our youth, Bethel Youth Empowering Futures offers a range of targeted workshops:
Career Exploration and Planning: Guide young people through the process of identifying potential career paths, understanding job market trends, and creating a personalised career plan.
Study Skills and Tips: Designed to enhance academic performance, these workshops will provide practical strategies for effective studying, time management, and exam preparation.
CV and Cover Letter Writing: Learn how to craft a compelling CV and cover letter that stands out to employers, with tips on tailoring applications to specific jobs.
University Personal Statement Help: Support writing strong personal statements for university applications, helping students articulate their strengths and aspirations.
And Many More!
Why We Do It
The vision for Bethel Youth Empowering Futures emerged from recognising that many young people in our community face systemic challenges that can limit their potential. Haringey’s socio-economic disadvantages, combined with the complexities of growing up as second-generation immigrants, often result in barriers to education, employment, and social mobility. We believe the church has a vital role in addressing these issues by offering a supportive, faith-based environment where young people can thrive.
Our mission is to bridge the opportunity gap by providing practical resources, positive role models, and a strong community network. Through our workshops, we aim to equip youth with resilience, skills, and confidence to navigate life’s challenges. By investing in their development, we seek to foster a generation of young leaders who are not only successful in their personal lives but also committed to making a positive impact in their communities and beyond.
At Bethel Church, we firmly believe that every young person has the potential to succeed when given the right support. Through Bethel Youth Empowering Futures, we are committed to creating a nurturing space where aspirations can flourish, and futures can be transformed.
