This training workshop is aimed at developing a leadership mindset in young people. At the end participants will have more clarity about what leadership means for them personally; what personal qualities they want to cultivate in themselves; and how they can support themselves to engage with issues and challenges; create partnerships and take responsibility with integrity. Participants will engage with the community and world themes they care about and make a plan to lead to address a specific issue.
Act for Change is a charity which works to improves the lives of children and young people aged 11-25 and their families, who have experiences of trauma, abuse and bereavement, often excluded from school and find themselves isolated and marginalised. They may be involved in the youth justice system.
We aim to improve the personal well-being of young people who have had adverse childhood experiences and to reduce their likelihood of resorting to violence and to harm themselves and others.
