Are you a passionate and dedicated young person aged 18-25 looking to make a real difference in your community? Do you want to be part of a groundbreaking initiative that puts young people at the heart of change?
The Young Gamechangers Fund (YGF) is calling on you to join their Steering Group! Last year, they launched a revolutionary £4.5m fund that supported 33 youth-led projects across the UK. This year, they want to expand their reach and impact even more.
As a Steering Group member, you’ll play a vital role in designing and leading the fund’s second year. You’ll work alongside other talented young people to:
– Co-design the fund’s strategy and direction
– Choose the projects that receive funding
– Shape the future of the Young Gamechangers Fund
YGF believes in the power of young people to create change. They’re committed to amplifying your voice and empowering you to make a real difference.
Duties
YGF Steering Group members will:
- Help the current cohort of the Steering Group to continue building the fund, i.e. application building, assessing applications, etc.
- Bring your lived experience and skills to the YGF and ensure the Fund works for young people like you.
- Collaborate with other young people online and in person.
- Be part of creating change for young activists and gamechangers across the UK.
Eligibility
They are looking for young people:
- Living in any part of the UK;
- Aged between 18 and 25;
- With an interest in youth-led change (no specific experience required) – this can be in your personal life, your job, in the UK or abroad, as part of a group or organisation, or by yourself – they are excited to hear about what youth-led change means to you.
YGF is committed to giving power to young people from lots of different backgrounds and with lots of different experiences. After consulting with the current steering group, they identified some gaps in recruitment and would like to particularly encourage applications from:
- Young people from Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the East of England
- Young males
- Young people who have not followed traditional routes of education (e.g. not attended university)
- Young people with experience of living in rural/isolated communities
- Young people with a physical disability.
Application Deadline: August 4, 2024.
In your application, they would like to know why you are applying and what skills and experience you will bring.
Alternatively, you can share a short video (maximum five minutes) responding to these questions – it is up to you! You can email the video to [email protected]
