Minehead EYE are pleased to launch a Young Advisors scheme for West Somerset.
Young Advisors are young people aged between 15 and 21 who stimulate social action by showing community leaders and decision makers how to engage young people in community life, regeneration and renewal. Young Advisors is a national scheme and Minehead EYE have been awarded funding from West Somerset Council’s Working Neighbourhood’s Fund to deliver the scheme in West Somerset.
Molly Studley from Minehead EYE talks about young advisors; ‘This is a really exciting programme and we are currently looking for 8 young people to join our Young Advisors West Somerset group. The scheme provides great ‘real’ work experience, a good wage of £8 per hour for a few hours a week, and Young Advisors will get to go on an amazing week-long training programme in August. We would like to encourage any young people who are interested to come along to our recruitment event to find out more and hopefully put themselves forward for the scheme. Help us to make a real difference to the way young people are involved in West Somerset '.
Young Advisors Recruitment Event is on Saturday 10th July at 1pm at Minehead Methodist Church on the Avenue in Minehead. You will be asked to take part in a couple of activities and have an informal interview. We need young people from all over West Somerset so don’t let lack of transport stop you, contact us and we’ll help. The training week is 15th – 21st August 2010 which you will need to be able to attend.
