FYA is searching for the 2009 Young Social Pioneers of Australia. If you’re an aspiring young leader, who is up to something great, let us know about your work. You could gain a place on our one year program, which offers an environment to further develop your skills and learning. You’ll have access to professional mentors, training, and networks, plus an exciting opportunity to gain recognition for your valuable work.
The Young Social Pioneers year long learning journey has three core elements:
Learn / Inquire: Bringing young social pioneers together with other successful leaders and social pioneers for a series of retreats and workshops focused on skill-building and information sharing. The program is an interactive and exciting learning experience, which focuses on the essential aspects of leadership – personal, visionary, political, collaborative, communications, organisational and societal. It will also introduce young social pioneers to sustainable, alternative and innovative business practices, which are aligned to their philosophies and relevant to their work.
Connect: Multiple opportunities to access mentors and relevant networks to increase the impact and recognition of their work. These include facilitated network meetings, which allow for networking with peers and experts and developing personal profiles. Plus, one to one mentoring outside of the retreats and workshops.
Do: Ensuring that the work of today’s young social pioneers is recognised and supported.
Young Social Pioneers is open to applicants 18-29 years old who have been actively working on an idea for a minimum of six months. Applicants must be available for the finalist weekend 25-26 July 2009 and the first retreat on 27 August – 4 September 2009.
Applications close 26 June 2009.
