HITZ is one team, with one dream, to help young people find a better future.
HITZ believes that every young person, no matter their background or ability, should have access to opportunities to help them fulfil their potential.
When young people are not sure on their next move, HITZ is there to support them.
HITZ is Premiership Rugby’s award-winning education and employability programme, delivered nationally by 12 Premiership Clubs. The programme is supported by funders CVC, Wooden Spoon and East Head Impact, with Central YMCA as the official education provider.
