Alvin Owusu's biography

At a glance

  • Co-founder of The Advantage Group, aiding BAME/low-income students
  • Awarded Point of Light by UK Prime Minister for social impact
  • Mentor and coach in debating/communication for at-risk students
Alvin Owusu co-founded The Advantage Group (TAG), a social enterprise that aims to transform the lives of young people from underrepresented backgrounds. TAG has delivered workshops to over 2000 students from BAME and/or low-income communities and has partnered with global brands such as Google, Facebook, and Red Bull. In recognition of their efforts, TAG received a Point of Light Award from the UK Prime Minister. Alvin grew up in Hackney, London, on the 'murder mile' and witnessed firsthand the impact of low income and being from a BAME background on one's life. This experience motivated him to create opportunities for positive change. Alongside his work with organizations like BAFTA and the BBC, Alvin mentors and teaches students at high risk of expulsion from school the art of debating and effective communication. He's a coach who champions providing a voice for the voiceless and creating opportunities for all.
