Young Community Leaders, 16-25 year olds, learning programme

Every other Saturday, 3 March- 12 May, 10am to 1pm

Do you have a burning desire to change the way things work in Croydon? It may be to do with something you have experienced, something you have seen happen to your friends that you don’t like, or something that you think you can do much better. It could be about the police, the hospital, your neighbourhood or something you are passionate about. To get an idea taken on board requires hard work, support and other people. This course is designed to help you develop your idea so that you can get started, work through the issues, and find ways of getting your idea accepted by those in charge.
