The Youth Group Blog :: Competition to create the Peterborough Youth Volunteering Network‘s branding

The Youth Volunteering Network (YVN) of Peterborough are looking for keen young designers (aged 16 – 25) to create the brand for the network by producing a logo and strapline to be used on all of its promotional material and advertising.

The Peterborough YVN function is to help support the role young volunteers play in Peterborough and to share ideas. Members meet every 8 weeks and include young volunteers and any organisation that wishes to or currently supports youth volunteering. The YVN can directly influence the Youth Volunteering Strategy for Peterborough.

The group are looking for a striking and colourful design but it should also be transferable to black and white. It should reflect several ideas – the coming together of the local youth community, the development of youth opportunities and the support of local organisations across Peterborough.

There is a prize of a £50 HMV voucher for the design which best captures the ideals of the YVN. This opportunity could even help to kick start a design portfolio!

For more details or to enter please contact Steve Probyn at Young Lives on 01733 341345 or Stephen@young-lives.org.uk for competition guidelines and a cover sheet. Entry for the competition closes on Tuesday 31^st March and the three finalists will be announced on Friday 3^rd April.

The UK is neglecting its leadership pipeline – don’t neglect your own and apply for a free place on leadership development programme

New research has found that many of the UK’s young leaders are being overlooked. A survey of 1,200 people by international leadership development organisation Common Purpose has found that less that half of people receive leadership development before the age of 25. This is despite the fact that over half of respondents said they had wanted leadership development at a younger age.

To address this problem, Common Purpose is expanding Frontrunner, its leadership development programme for the UK’s young adults. The Frontrunner programme uses real-life situations as its classroom. Participants are taken to a diverse range of organisations where they explore the problems they are facing, alongside the people who are tackling them. This is a rare chance to explore what is required to lead effectively with people already leading change in society. Participants also gain a stimulating new peer network of other leaders across the UK.

There are over 100 free places on the programme and the application process is now open to people over the age of 18, who may be in full-time education or are in the very early stages of their career, and who have already shown evidence of leadership.

Frontrunner is a residential course that will be held four times in 2009:
• 22-25 June 2009 in London
• 13-16 July 2009 in Leeds
• 2-5 September 2009 in Bristol
• 7-10 September 2009 in Belfast

The deadline for the Leeds and London Frontrunner programmes is 27 April 2009. The deadline for the Bristol and Belfast programme is 27 July 2009. The short application process can be found online: http://www.commonpurpose.org.uk/frontrunner or email frontrunner@commonpurpose.org.uk for further details.
