📢 Do you have some campaigning experience but want to learn more from skilled campaigners & run your own campaign?
THEN APPLY TO OUR CLIMATE.YOUTH.SOCIETY. Programme!
👉 What is the programme?
Climate.Youth.Society. The Richard Sandbrook Mentoring programme is a year-long programme designed to teach you everything you need to know to become a fantastic climate justice campaigner!
The programme is divided in two parts. The first 6 months will be dedicated to learning everything you need to know to become a successful campaigner. You will be paired with an experienced social justice campaigner who shares your background and passion and who will do everything they can to give you the skills you need to become a confident and successful activist.
The second part of the course will be implementing the skills you have learnt in a campaign of your own! You will be given a £100 bursary to start a campaign and will be supported by FOE staff as you deliver it.
👉 What do I need to do?
To join the programme, you will need to fill in this application form here (shorturl.at/kuvxH) and this EDI form (shorturl.at/fksOZ) and send to Hiba.ahmad@foe.co.uk and Hannah.Evans@foe.co.uk. They are both copied into this email and can answer any questions you have.
If you are under 18, you will need your guardian’s permission to participate. Deadline for application is 11:59 PM – Sunday 15th August.
You will need to commit to one mentoring session a month, plus attend training sessions designed to help you become a better climate justice campaigner.
