Young Rebels with a Cause
Born from two mums who saw their teens struggle, Young Rebels creates real, offline experiences—built on connection, creativity, self-awareness, and nature for Schools, Youth Clubs or NGOS.
We’re flipping the script: real learning -isn’t about scrolling- is about living. Deep experiences bring real wisdom.
Being rebellious doesn’t mean you’re "bad." It means you’re awake.
Obedience breeds conformity, but rebellion sparks change.
At Young Rebels, we see rebellion as courage — the guts to be yourself, question the norm, and push for better. Stand up. Stand out. Shape the future
If you are going to Rebel: do it with a purpose
In a world that’s always connected, have a break to rediscover your true self.
If you think you might be a rebel, join us. Let’s rebel, for real.
