Graduate of first youth leadership programme explains how taking part boosted her practice and skills.

A group of youth work professionals have embarked on a programme to train the next generation of youth sector leaders.

A total of 28 youth sector professionals are taking part in the Emerging Youth Leader programme run by Clore Social Leadership and funded by the Big Lottery Fund and Bank of America Merrill Lynch. This is a 30 per cent increase on the number involved in a pilot of the programme that took place last year.

The programme has been developed in collaboration with a group of youth charities and involves participants working in teams to find solutions to leadership challenges. It requires 20 to 22 days of learning over six months, including two residential trips of 2.5 days each. Course fees are between £1,000 and £2,000 dependent on organisation income.
