Wanted – Young Leaders!
December 9th, 2008Inner Flame needs to be guided by young people. At 19, I’m already beyond what David calls the "target audience"! So I’m now recruiting volunteers from Swindon and North Wiltshire, aged 14 to 17, to form our Young Leaders Group. Numbers are strictly limited at 8 to 12 (and only one from any school/college), so if you know anyone who might be interested, please ask them to contact me now.
Volunteers must be enthusiastic, good team workers, and be interested in developing themselves. Meetings will be held (usually in Swindon) every 1-2 months for a year, and we’ll also establish an online forum.
What it involves
We are looking for Young Leaders’ advice and views to guide our plans, e.g.:
· Marketing and Communication: ideas and feedback on our brand, designs, website, leaflets and how best to get the message out.
· Contributing views to blogs/groups relating to what we’re planning, and finding inspiring quotes and stories to include in a newsletter.
· Reviewing elements of the course planning and design from a participant’s perspective, discussing and helping us address any concerns as well as identifying the elements that are most likely to excite attendees.
·
You will also act as ambassadors for Inner Flame, promoting and getting involved in our open days, when potential participants can come along a try a new physical activity.
Benefits
In return, you’ll get:
· A free place on one of our first pilot courses.
· A chance to earn Volunteering and/or Residential certificates as part of the Duke of Edinburgh award.
· A new group of motivated, interesting friends.
· An opportunity to develop your communication skills.
· Personal feedback on your personality profile (using the DISC system), communication and team-working skills
· Something to put on your CV
If you have any questions, just email me or call me on 07517 145474.
I look forward to meeting you,
Glenn
