About Us
Youth Pathway CIC is a community-driven organisation committed to transforming the lives of children through outdoor learning, mentoring, and sustainability education. Based in Birmingham, our team of experienced mentors and educators have developed a comprehensive program that blends the Forest School ethos, personal mentoring, and food-growing skills.
Our award-winning approach has reached children across the city through community programs and holiday camps, funded by the National Lottery. Now, with our Growing with Nature program, we bring these experiences directly to schools, offering flexible packages designed to meet the needs of students and align with the school curriculum.

Our Approach: How We Make a Difference
At Youth Pathway, we tailor our Growing with Nature sessions to fit the unique requirements of your school and students. Each session is designed to inspire confidence, encourage teamwork, and teach vital life skills through immersive, hands-on learning. Whether working with school grounds or delivering sessions at our local allotments, we offer children a chance to engage with the natural world in a meaningful way.
By blending the guidance of our experienced mentors with outdoor learning and food-growing activities, we provide children with experiences that support both their academic and emotional growth. The result? Children who are more connected to nature, more confident in their abilities, and more resilient in the face of challenges.
