Youth Change
Youth Change is a comprehensive 4-day residential training course, run by Oxfam staff, for young people aged 18-25.
What will you gain from the course?
Lots, hopefully! Our Change programmes are jam-packed, and you’ll come away with far more than can be described here. But, in short, you will:
- receive specialist training on Oxfam’s campaigns by professional staff
- meet like-minded people, and form links and networks
- be provided with ongoing support from Oxfam after the event
- learn how to make an impact in the fight against poverty and suffering
- enjoy yourself!
What do we ask in return?
To take part in Youth Change, we ask you to:
- be passionate about making a difference
- put the skills and knowledge you learn to good use in your own community
- commit to campaigning in your community for at least six months after the course
- be resident in the UK during the six-months of your campaigning programme
When and where does Youth Change take place?
Youth Change will be held in at Harborne Hall, Birmingham, from 19 to 22 September.
