Do you believe every girl should feel confident, included and able to lead? Are you passionate about using your voice to create positive change for younger girls in your community? Join our Enrich Her Youth Steering Group and help shape a leadership and empowerment programme designed by young women, for girls. We are creating a voluntary Youth Steering Group for young women, primarily aged 18–21, from the London Boroughs of Camden and Islington to help design and shape a powerful leadership and empowerment programme for girls aged 11 - 16 years old. What the initiative is: Enrich Her is an exciting leadership and empowerment programme designed for girls aged 11 - 16 years old within Camden and Islington. It is funded by the National Lottery, which supports community projects across the UK, and delivered in partnership by the Youth Sport Trust and StreetGames - two organisations that specialise in helping young people grow and succeed through sport and physical activity. Through fun activities, wellbeing sessions and real leadership opportunities, the programme aims to build confidence, leadership skills and a strong sense of belonging. As part of the programme, we are creating a voluntary Youth Steering Group made up of young women aged 18 – 21 years old (approximately) to help shape, design and support delivery - ensuring the programme reflects what girls need and want from their experiences.
