We Are Not Just a Platform, but a Movement

Kaia is the CEO and award-winning founder of the multi-award-winning consultancy YouthTheGapCIC, which is on a mission to reimagine the possibilities of education. YouthTheGapCIC works directly with schools to identify gaps and co-create solutions to fix them, whilst taking the weight off of teachers’ shoulders. Through workshops, training, audit plans, events and an alternative education platform, YouthTheGap builds long-term relationships with schools and educational staff that evolve into coalitions for meaningful and sustainable change.

Their work is currently supported by The Blagrave Trust and The Phoenix Way. They recognise educational inequity as a global crisis, with 285 million young people—17% of the global youth population—out of education. Since COVID-19, existing inequalities have deepened. YouthTheGapCIC’s long-term vision is to stretch their services globally and create worldwide impact. Guided by decolonial frameworks, YouthTheGapCIC is committed to leading with and making a social impact that fosters intergenerational connection. They believe that addressing injustice requires everyone—not just youth—to be active cultural members of the revolution.

Founded in November 2024, YouthTheGapCIC is proud to have received the Plus X “Rising Star Award” just one week after becoming a Community Interest Company (CIC). Since launching in February 2024, they have built an active community of over 500 people and have won Acquisition International 10th Anniversary, "Transformative Education CEO of the Year 2025 (UK): Business Leadership & Dedication Excellence" award 2025. SME News, "Most Impactful Youth Education CEO" award of 2024.

The organisation is founded by, and predominantly led by, youth aged 22–26, Black and Global Majority individuals, LGBTQIA+ members, and those who are women-aligning. We are not just a platform, but a movement.
