The Cumbria Community Foundation is seeking applications for its Positive Disruptors Programme.
They’re delighted to have partnered with the Centre for Leadership Performance, a not-for-profit organisation that has shared ambitions for young people in West Cumbria. Several of its existing programmes align with and complement the aims of Positive Disruptors to support, nurture and empower leaders of the future.
Aims
The aim of Positive Disruptors is to:
- give young people aged 10-25 years from disadvantaged backgrounds in West Cumbria the opportunity to have their ideas and ambitions heard and the potential to have them realised
- challenge young people to think creatively and in more enterprising ways
- empower young people to ‘positively disrupt’ the status quo and to be heard
- support young people to test out their enterprising ideas
- break down the barriers for aspiring young entrepreneurs, by developing an enterprising culture based on encouragement and support
Funding Information
- This includes a grant of £1,000, a learning programme including coaching, mentoring and workshops to help young people develop their enterprising ideas and themselves as leaders.
- They’ll also have the opportunity to learn from local entrepreneurs who’ve created successful initiatives; work alongside a peer group of young people committed to creating positive change and will be linked to other organisations to help them to put their plan into action.
Eligibility Criteria
- Called Positive Disruptors, the competition is open to young people living in Allerdale or Copeland and aged between 10 and 25 who want to “positively disrupt” their communities.
