The Trust works closely with a variety of education partners with a premise of using football as a vehicle to attract the attention of young people in order to deliver positive messages and opportunities to the local community.
As well as working with schools delivering sports programmes, the Trust has seen successful projects grow and develop in the classroom, with no better example than the highly acclaimed Saints Study Support Centre.
G.O.A.L.S.
Gaining Opportunities And Learning Skills is a Entry to Employment partnership with Totton College which offers 16-19 year olds a inspiration environment for learning.
Based at St Marys Stadium the 20 week course delivers a Level 1 BTEC Award in Sport & Active Leisure as well as achieving a FA Level 1 coaching qualification and preparation for work, e.g. CV writing and work placement opportunities.

Red, White & You
The Trust works in partnership with local statutory agencies to deliver projects to young people (year 9, 10 or 11). Focusing on the PHSE agenda the course challenges young people's views on topics such as respect and anti racism as well as discussing issues around healthy lifestyles and communication skills.
The young people attend St. Mary's Stadium one day a week for six weeks with the sessions based in the classroom in the morning followed by a football coaching session in the afternoon.
For further information on the project, contact community@saintsfc.co.uk or call 0845 6889370.
School Visits
The Trust can design an event to suit the requirements of a school. Ranging from stadium tours to career advice for pupils the Trust is positioned to adapt to the needs of the school, with a cost reflecting the size of the event.
If you would like to discuss a potential event contact community@saintsfc.co.uk, or call 0845 6889370.
Prince's Trust
The Prince's Trust has been working with young people in a football environment since 2002 providing support through the sport. Each year the Prince's Trust teams from Southampton benefit from educational workshops on lifestyle advice and diversity training.
