Advantaged Thinking Hub
A dynamic learning community
Foyers are transformational living and learning environments where young people who can’t live at home can realise their power and purpose. Working with young people to learn and develop is central to the Youth Foyer offer.
But – despite the unwavering commitment of Youth Foyers to provide the best offer possible – regulatory changes, funding challenges and constraints in resource mean that high quality learning opportunities can often be tricky to come by.
The Advantaged Thinking Hub (ATHub) bridges this gap.
What is the ATHub?
Launching in autumn 2025, the ATHub is a dynamic learning and development environment. Shaped and maintained by the Youth Foyer community, the online platform provides a space for young people and staff in Youth Foyers to learn, collaborate and thrive.
How does the ATHub work?
The ATHub draws together the expertise of Youth Foyers and young people to create a rich ‘living curriculum’, packed full of accessible and engaging learning materials that are crafted and curated by the people who use them.
Enhancing your existing learning offer, the ATHub provides a space for young people to not only learn but to create and share their own content, take ownership of their progress, and become active participants in the community.

With resources for both young people and staff in Youth Foyers, through the ATHub you can:
