Our Mission

Empowering the next generation of purposeful leaders

A mission built on lived experience: helping young people, educators and organisations turn social consciousness into meaningful careers and measurable impact.

I joined the UK Civil Service at the age of 21 as an ambitious British Muslim from East London. I carved out my own impactful 12 year career in Government, but I never forgot about the next generation. With every career milestone I achieved, I took my learning back to schools and campuses, uplifting young people, so they could see themselves in positions of purpose and power. I'm proud of the legacy I've created for diverse young people to aspire to work in Government and now it's time to hand the baton to you!

Mission by Audience

Three missions, one purpose-led approach

We know that today young people are speaking out about the greatest social injustices of our time from the genocide in Gaza to climate catastrophe. Generation Purpose is here to guide young change-makers into purposeful professional leaders, who can have real influence and make impactful decisions to create the change they want to see in the world whether that be in Government, the charity sector or a multilateral institution. Join our mission to build the next generation of purposeful leaders.
