Disability Sport Yorkshire are offering an exciting opportunity aimed at disabled individuals aged 16–25 across Yorkshire. They are recruiting for their Young Leaders Programme, designed to inspire and support the next generation of leaders, providing them with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to become future charity leaders or trustees.
Over the course of the year, participants will take part in sessions covering topics such as:
• Understanding Charity Governance – How charities are structured and the role of trustees
• Fundraising & Income Generation – Securing funding and diversifying income
• Leadership & Influence – Building confidence and developing leadership styles
• Public Speaking & Advocacy – Communicating effectively and advocating for change
• Project Management in Charities – Planning, delivering, and evaluating impact
• Inclusivity & Representation – Creating truly inclusive organisations
• Networking & Career Development – Navigating the charity sector and identifying opportunities
Travel expenses to in-person sessions will be reimbursed (fuel at £0.45/mile and economy train travel). Most other sessions will be delivered online for accessibility.
