2015 Starbucks Youth Action Programme Launch

UK Youth and Starbucks Coffee Company have announced the launch of its 2015 Starbucks Youth Action programme.

Eligibility 
Are you working with young people aged 16 – 24 who are not in education or employment? Would you like to support them to run a social action programme with funding of up to £1000, with an additional contribution for youth workers support time?

What For?
To apply, two young people need to lead the project and engage a further 50 young people throughout the course of the project. The young people will need to be aged between 16 and 24 and need to have a youth worker / training organisation able to support them throughout the project.

They are looking for projects that provide a positive benefit to the local community and that look to enhance the young leaders employability and leadership skills.

To support young people through their project they will be given access to a specially designed App which can be download in order to keep track of their project milestones and achievements while supporting them with the planning and delivery of their social action project.

All workers supporting young people will receive a copy of their employability toolkit to run through employment ready sessions and the QCF Unit Leadership pack, which will provide activities and recording documents for the young person to complete to gain their QCF unit in Leadership. In addition, young people will have access to job and apprenticeship vacancies within the Starbucks Coffee Chain.

The programme is primarily focused on young people not in education or employment although strong applications from other applicants will be considered.

This is a fantastic opportunity for young people to get involved in their local community and make a really positive difference while being given excellent support tools and networking opportunities.

How Much?
Up to £1000

Deadline
This is a rolling programme until March 2016.
