Why Rise Beyond

Your past can shape you. It doesn’t have to define you.

Rise Beyond brings together Aguer’s lived experience, football and youth mentoring to help young people build confidence, make positive choices and move forward with direction.

Why it exists

He found his way back. Now he helps young people find theirs.

Football, positive relationships and a change in mindset helped Aguer find his way back.

Today, he combines that lived experience with youth mentoring and community work to give young people the support, challenge and belief they need to move forward.

I want to be for young people the person I never really had.
