We’re on a mission to empower young people to overcome social injustice and succeed.

EMPOWER YOUNG PEOPLE
Mission 44 was founded by Sir Lewis Hamilton, whose first-hand experience of an education system that worked against him, and whose success as the only person of colour in his field, have left him determined to build a fairer, more inclusive future for young people around the world.
Our name is a reference to Lewis’s racing car number and a reminder that it’s possible to succeed no matter your background.
BUILD A FAIRER FUTURE
We believe a fairer, more inclusive future is possible, and it begins with these three priorities:
DISRUPT THE
STATUS QUO
Change on a global scale requires collective action. So we’re backing innovators and system-changers across education, employment and empowerment. With an established network of partners in the UK, we’re now extending our reach to the US and Brazil.
CHAMPION DIVERSITY
With a diverse board, team, and Youth Advisory Board, Mission 44 is a passionate set of individuals from different backgrounds who bring the breadth of thought needed to drive radical and sustainable change.
With an ambitious sense of possibility, we focus on where we can drive systemic change.
We build partnerships and coalitions to solve problems and make change happen.
We are evidence-led and continuously learning how best to grow our impact.
We are honest and transparent, and build trust-based relationships.
We put equity at the heart of everything and amplify the voices of the underrepresented.
