Welcome to Arise Shine
Equipping Young People for Life and Leadership
Arise- Shine Community Studio CIC supports young people aged 13-18 in Birmingham during one of the most defining stages of their lives.
Adolescence shapes identity, confidence and future direction- yet too many young people navigate it without safe spaces or structured support.
We exist to change that.
Who We Are
Arise-Shine Community Studio CIC is a registered Community Interest Company based in the heart of Birmingham. We exist to respond to pressing local challenges, including youth vulnerability, social isolation, poverty and the shortage of safe, structured community spaces for young people.
We are dedicated to supporting young people aged 13–18 during one of the most formative stages of their lives. We believe that every young person — regardless of background or circumstance — has strengths, potential and leadership capacity waiting to be unlocked.
Our role is to provide the tools, mentoring and safe environment where that growth can take place.
Through structured leadership and wellbeing programmes, we are equipping young people for life and leadership.
Our unique 5E Framework
Our approach is what sets us apart. Every programme, session, and interaction is guided by our five core principles, ensuring our work is impactful, respectful, and truly participant-led.
Educative
