Do It Change It Live It – a New Programme encouraging young people to act.

 

Recent speeches over the Christmas and New Year by community and faith leaders have once again thrown the spotlight on community cohesion – particularly focusing on positive engagement with young people.

“Do It Change It Live It” is an exciting programme of opportunity for young people across North Yorkshire in 2012.  This innovative project is part of National Citizen Service (NCS), a government initiative programme providing young people in Year 11 living in York and North Yorkshire, from all backgrounds, with the opportunity to take on challenges, learn new skills, have fun with new friends and make a positive impact on their community over the summer.

We are currently recruiting hundreds of participants who will have the opportunity to work with trained mentors developing their leadership, confidence, teamwork and communication skills.  Along the way participants will have a host of new and challenging experiences, create new friendships and have the chance to deliver a social action project of their choice

This programme is being run on behalf of NCS by Your Consortium Ltd - a not for profit company based in  Knaresborough, North Yorkshire  - and is working in partnership with North Yorkshire Youth (NYY), a registered charity who support young people and the voluntary and community youth sector across North Yorkshire, and also own and run Carlton Lodge Outdoor Centre, near Thirsk.

Sue Vasey – the Chief Executive of Your Consortium said  “We know that there is so much potential in young people and we are passionate about providing opportunities for them to use their energy, enthusiasm and skills to make a difference in our communities.  The onus is on all of us to support our young people and I’m calling on local businesses – large and small – alongside  voluntary & Community Sectors to help us make ‘Do It Change It Live It ‘happen.  We need some really practical support so please get in touch and help us.  We all need to invest in our workforce of the future and take responsibility for the young people in our community and National Citizen Service is a great opportunity to unlock so much potential.”
