M10 Missions

M10 Missions is a UK-based charity registered under the number 1156107. It focuses on transforming the lives of young people while providing support to those living in extreme poverty.

History

M10 Missions was founded in 2009 by its CEO, Stephen Riley, following a transformative trip to Mexico. This experience led to the creation of a program aimed at taking students from the North East to Mexico to build houses for families in need. Over the years, more than 400 students have participated in this life-changing initiative.

Mission and Programs

The charity's primary mission is to empower young people to explore their passions, unlock their potential, and embark on successful career paths. Initially focused on international service projects, M10 Missions has expanded its scope to include career guidance and skills development programs within school curricula. These programs are designed to engage students and prepare them for the workforce, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. M10 works closely with schools to facilitate these interventions, easing the administrative burden associated with career programs.

Values and Impact

M10 Missions is guided by Christian-based values and aims to not only transform the lives of participants but also contribute to overcoming poverty. It offers dynamic training opportunities that enhance leadership and life skills among young adults aged 16 to 25 through overseas relief projects. The charity is governed by a team of diverse trustees, ensuring a comprehensive approach to its mission.

Governance

The organization is overseen by a board of trustees whose skills complement the work of M10's team. The chairman has been honored with an OBE, reflecting the charity's impactful contributions.

Summer Programs

A notable aspect of M10 Missions is its summer experience program in Ensenada, Mexico, specifically designed for KS4 and KS5 students. This 10-day program is a catalyst for change, empowering young people to tackle poverty while fostering personal growth and meaningful impact.
