The TaYouth Foundation (TYF) allows Tayo to give something back to the wider community. TYF has been set up to encourage young people to live their best life, helping them raise their self-worth, thereby reducing the impact of 'low self-esteem' crimes - bullying, theft, vandalism etc. Our goal is to prepare young people to be more open, accepting and respectful of each other. Tayo believes that confident, happy individuals, who own their ‘uniqueness’ do not need to hide behind gangs or intimidate others. She is passionate about helping youth direct their thinking to positive learning, working and leadership experiences.

Accepting each others differences, being inspired by the individual gifts we have, be it in art, sport, speaking out for others, writing, and so on, we can share and benefit from them. TYF introduces inspirational people (mentors) to youth and gives them opportunities to learn from their examples. Our philosophy is ‘innovation through inspiration’ to create effective programmes that inspire and support. Education and self-belief can heal from the roots up. TYF offers leadership, advice, support and encouragement and replaces ‘the knife with the knowledge’ and ‘rage with respect’, providing the opportunity for youth to grow through their own choices.  

TYF is charity based. If you would like to become a sponsor of a TYF event or donate please follow the links or click the TaYouth Foundation button below. We would love to hear from you.
