OUR STORY

Inspired by Our Journey

Chevening Youth Hub is an independent, Chevening alumni-led organization inspired by Chevening Awards values and by the educational and leadership journeys of its team members across Chevening Awards, the University of South Wales, the British Council in Wales, and the wider UK higher education ecosystem.

Inspired by these experiences, we created a community that expands opportunities for young people and advances leadership, education, resilience, civic engagement, and positive social impact in their communities.

From Idea to Impact

Three milestones that shaped Chevening Youth Hub from an idea into a regional organization.

July 2024

Pilot Launch

The Yemen Chevening Hub officially launched its pilot phase, bringing together Chevening scholars and alumni to support future applicants and strengthen community engagement.

July 2026

Regional Expansion

The organisation evolved into Chevening Youth Hub, an independent Chevening alumni-led organization empowering young people through education, leadership and meaningful impact, helping to build stronger, more resilient and sustainable communities.
