Story

Our Story

YUMA ELITE began in 2022 with a small summer school and a bold idea: build consistent spaces where young people are challenged, cared for and equipped with skills that matter. Since then, we’ve delivered residentials, monthly youth nights, skills workshops, events and service projects — reaching hundreds of young people across Sheffield.
