Exciting news – our ChangeMakers Programme is back this June!
Got something to say? Want to do something that actually matters?
Then this is your chance to team up with other young people between 11-16 years old, choose a cause you care about, and do something awesome to help your community.
Kicking off on Tuesday 3 June 4-5pm, you’ll spend 8 weeks coming up with ideas, taking action, and making a real difference. It’s free, it’s fun, and it’s all led by you.
.
Together with other young people, ChangeMakers create and implement community action projects to make a real difference. You could choose to work on projects such as:
- Equality and social justice
- Environment and sustainability
- Local safety
- Youth wellbeing and support
- Cultural exchange
Projects are youth-led, but are supported by partners from across the Developmental Assets project in and around Newark. You’ll be helped by staff and volunteers during weekly sessions to make your ideas real and put change into action.
Too shy? No experience? Never done anything like this before?ChangeMakers is for you.
ChangeMakers are open to young people of all backgrounds, beliefs, experiences, ideas, personalities and cultures.
Young people can apply themselves, and we also encourage teachers, youth workers and caregivers to encourage young people who may not usually engage in extra-curricular activities to apply and have their voices heard.
