Look Ahead.

20/20 Levels is a social mobility organisation, empowering Black and racially underrepresented young people through opportunities to maximise their potential.

Whether you want to land your dream job, build a business, or just figure out where youโ€™re headed โ€“ weโ€™ll help you find success by opening doors to the best opportunities.

Weโ€™re not saying it will be easy. Nothing worthwhile is. You need a willingness to evolve, and an ability to work hard. In return, weโ€™ll back you. Prepare you. And push you further than you thought you could go.

So you can put your future in the best hands possible. Your own.

Our programmes have transformed the lives of over a thousand young people across London. With over 60% of our candidates gaining new employment within 3 months of completing our programme.

We strive to deliver the best support and resources possible. We work with the best businesses and we ask that our young people try to show up as their best selves.

To be overlooked is to be denied opportunities in various aspects of life and business. In the UK, Black and other ethnic minorities receive just 0.24% of capital funding in the UK; 25% of businesses fail in their first year. For overlooked entrepreneurs, that percentage is even higher; and when it comes to funding, only 1% of Black businesses, for example, received investments.

Our mission is simple: to help change that, to give overlooked entrepreneurs the opportunities they deserve.

Support the effort.

As a charity, donations are paramount to the success of what we do, we wouldnโ€™t be where we are, and more importantly where they are without the help of others. Support us, no amount is too little.
