Are you Future Leader?
Holywell Trust is recruiting participants for the next phase of the Future Leaders project. The Future Leaders project, which was piloted last year, will create a new cohort of community leaders in the North West.
We are recruiting 20 people to take part in a year-long programme that will include: Residential opportunities – focused programme visits and sessions to include a visit to Dublin; Training programme – a 20-session programme examining a range... of issues from Good Relations to Movement Building (final programme to be agreed with the programme participants); Community projects – 4 community projects will be led up and delivered by participants.
We are recruiting people who - have an interest in supporting community activity in the city; are from all community backgrounds and willing to work collaboratively to improve the lives of local people; are are not members or representatives of political parties are aged between 18 and 35; are able to participate in at least 90% of programme activities.
Participation in the project is a voluntary commitment. Reflecting this, the course will be participant-led, engaging and challenging. Our aim to do connect local people who will form the backbone of the sector for years to come.
There will be an information session, which is open for all to attend, about the Future Leaders programme on: Monday 2nd March 2020 at 2.00pm in Holywell – DiverseCity Community Partnership, Bishop Street.
