Our Journey
Compass Youth Trust began with a simple belief: every young person deserves the tools, guidance, and encouragement to chart their own course in life. What started as a single mentor team is growing into a trusted community resource—offering support, opportunities, and a safe space for young people to explore who they are and who they want to become.
