Our vision
We all belong and can contribute.
That is our vision here at Grit. We’ve spent twenty-five years creating opportunities for more than 45,000 people to break through limitations, and go on to lead flourishing lives and build connected communities.
We believe that when you change your thinking, you can change your world. This is what our programmes are designed to do. We work with young people and the adults that support them to change the way they think, and so radically improve the outcomes they achieve.
We work with people’s assets – their talents, passions and networks – to dismantle those self-limiting beliefs that focus on what is missing, what is wrong, what needs to be fixed, the deficit mindset. Our starting point is that you already have everything you need to be a thriving and contributing part of your community. We’ll work with you until you can see that too.
“The Grit training was challenging, different, pertinent, and impressive. It sees young people as possibilities — this is excellent and rare.”
