The UpRising Leadership Programme is dedicated to supporting and developing young adults aged 19-25 from diverse backgrounds in order to become the next generation of effective and connected leaders across the public, private and voluntary sectors. We are recruiting 50 young people in Birmingham, 40 in East London and 20 in Bedford.
UpRising (www.uprising.org.uk) was developed and launched by the Young Foundation in 2008 in East London. UpRising has worked with over 200 young adults over the past three years in London and we expanded to Birmingham in October 2010. We are expanding into Bedford in September 2011.
Our patrons are Prime Minister David Cameron, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and Leader of the Labour Party Ed Miliband.
We are recruiting for our programme which starts in October 2011. We are looking for young people who are enthusiastic, passionate and committed to changing their communities for the better. We are recruiting 50 young people within Birmingham to take part.
Please see attached brochure for more information on this opportunity.
