This project will support Youth Team members, aged 14-25 from across the UK, in receiving training, mentoring and funding to implement sustainable social action in their communities. Having had the opportunity to become young leaders with PeaceJam UK, the Youth Team offers a follow-on year-long mentoring fellowship. This allows members to develop their skills through a number of training days, one-to-one mentoring sessions and wrap-around support in enacting change.

This project will empower 10,000 youth to undertake positive change in themselves and in their communities, providing a solution to increasing community conflict and apathy, with youth leading the way to change the world. Our 'Be the Change!' project harnesses the powerful near-peer experience that takes place between university student mentors and young people aged 11-18. Training mentors to deliver interactive workshops and support youth-led social action.
