Start with something they can do.
Bins, paintings, cupcakes, jewellery, computer help or suitable garden tasks. Bring an original idea, choose appropriate support, learn reliability, communication and pricing.
First earnings.
Practical skills.
A stronger neighbourhood.
Young people have things they can make and skills they can offer. Togetheroo helps a neighbourhood create supported opportunities, with parents and responsible adults arranging each job or sale.
This is a proposed pilot, founded by Bulent Kaya in Kensington. No school, council or public figure is represented as a partner or endorser.

A silent recording of the illustrative demo. The accessible step-by-step version explains the same journey.
Agree it with another adult.
Review the request, suitability, legal requirements, amount and handover. Keep control of under-18 contact and supported arrangements.
Create opportunities close to home.
Buy from a local maker, request a small service or post an appropriate task. Opportunities stay within the selected community.
Proposed first pilot
Choose one neighbourhood and a small, supervised group. Confirm the school or community host, responsible adults and regulatory requirements before recruiting or accepting jobs.
Kensington as the proposed starting point. Expansion follows evidence.
A proposed learning cycle, not an announced programme.
Agree numbers, age bands and support capacity with the host.
What we would measure
Appropriate opportunities offered, requests reviewed by adults, completed arrangements, money actually received with evidence, skills practised, family feedback, accessibility adjustments and safety concerns. Website traffic and demo transactions are not youth outcomes.
