The charity, set up to bring about a "humane and sustainable future", is using a 40,000 grant from youth volunteering charity v to develop a Young Community Leaders project.
The project is due to start in March in Manchester and London. ICA:UK will work with a voluntary youth organisation to recruit 20 young people in each city. They will be trained and supported by the charity's staff for 12 weekly sessions in the planning and delivery of community projects. The participating voluntary organisations will recruit the young people and host the sessions.
At the end of the three-month training, the young people will work as a team to deliver a project designed to meet needs in their community.
