The Young People Index is an online assessment instrument in preparing young people for success.

Developed using The GC Index® framework, it is designed to help young people discover their impact and greatness in the world. Used by education professionals and youth organisations, it helps identify and nurture the non-academic strengths of young people.

The results from the assessment empower young people by highlighting their natural preferences and inclinations in terms of how they contribute to a team, organisation, project or role and thus boost confidence and self-awareness.

The benefits to schools, youth organisations and young people include:

  • Improving the performance of schools and young people
  • Enhancing teachers’ and coaches’ knowledge of the individuals they are educating or coaching
  • Aiding understanding of the contribution each child makes and has the potential to make
  • Boosting the confidence of young people
  • Increasing rapport between teachers/coaches and children with additional behavioural and learning needs

Here, Helen Rivero, GCologist and Founder of The Young People Index talks about how The Young People Index is helping young people identify how they can make their game-changing impact.

HEAR FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE USED THE YOUNG PEOPLE INDEX

The Young People Index has been an invaluable tool in helping me to make decisions as to where and how I wish to work, giving me the confidence to attempt to realise some of my more outlandish aspirations in the future by making them seem not so outlandish but, indeed, achievable

HEAR FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE USED THE YOUNG PEOPLE INDEX

I have always been confident, outgoing and happy to present an honest opinion, even if it is likely to be unpopular or goes against the status quo. The Young People Index has simply reinforced these views and given me the extra confidence to suggest ideas that even I am unsure about, simply for the sake of putting it out there as something to consider. Furthermore, it is an invaluable tool to add weight to arguments, and something that I am able to include with applications for jobs / higher education.

HEAR FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE USED THE YOUNG PEOPLE INDEX

I have always had alternative ideas and strong opinions on how else things could be done, and have always been aware of this. However, The Young People Index has allowed me to see those character traits as something tangible, definable and positive, rather than a problem that needs to be solved.
