Meet Our Director - Adam Hurst
I am Adam Hurst, founder and director of YouThrive Academy. I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of young people, especially those who have faced disadvantage, trauma, or disrupted education.
With a First-Class Honours degree in Teaching and over seven years’ experience in the classroom, I believe every young person deserves to feel safe, supported, and empowered to succeed. My approach is rooted in trauma-informed, relational practice, and I’m committed to helping learners grow in confidence, independence, and self-worth.
At YouThrive, I lead a dedicated team focused on creating opportunities, breaking down barriers, and helping every young person thrive.
