A group of frontline youth workers supporting young people in London at risk of, or affected by, violence have embarked on a leadership programme that aims to broaden their skills to deliver and lead services.
The group, the first of three cohorts of “high-potential” youth workers to undertake the one-year youth practitioners leadership programme, started in September. They have been selected from the network of 600 community youth organisations that are members of umbrella body London Youth because they have shown leadership potential and influenced their communities (see below).
Called Rise Up, the programme has been developed by London Youth and charity Leap Confronting Conflict along with specialist training company Clore Social Leadership, and is funded by the Mayor of London’s Violence Reduction Unit. It has been designed to recognise the broad skills needed to deliver and lead youth services for young people affected by violence, as victim or perpetrator, or at risk from it.
