Submitted by: Corinne Phillips | Corporate Partnerships Manager, Giving Nation
If your business is looking to support a worthwhile community activity involving local young people over the coming year, please read on. The Citizenship Foundation is now recruiting businesses to partner with their local secondary school in order to take on Giving Nation Challenge - a youth social action and enterprise programme.
The Giving Nation Challenge provides skills development opportunities for employee volunteers to act as business advisors and enable young people (ages 11 to 16) to take action on a local, global or national issue they feel passionate about. Supported by the Cabinet Office, this fun yet practical programme gives young people the opportunity to be active, responsible citizens and develop a range of business related skills.
Volunteer training sessions, on-site support, classroom materials and evaluations are provided by the Giving Nation team. The volunteer role is suited to all types of employee including those working in professional services, HR, marketing, sales, consultancy, finance and other support roles.
For more information about how to get involved please visit: www.g-nation.org.uk/corporate or contact Corinne Phillips, Corporate Partnerships Manager T: 0207 566 5031; E: gnchallenge@citizenshipfoundation.org.uk
The Citizenship Foundation is an independent education and participation charity that aims to encourage and enable individuals to engage in democratic society. It reaches out to over 4,200 schools and 195,000 young people every year with the support of over 1,600 employee volunteers. Please visit: www.citizenshipfoundation.org.uk for more information.
