[cma-l] Funding News: Starbucks Youth Action Invites Applications from across Great Britain (UK)

[CMA-L]

UK Youth and Starbucks are inviting groups in England, Scotland and Wales
who are working with young people not in education or employment to apply
for grants of up to £1,000.

Now in its fifth year, Starbucks Youth Action aims to inspire and support
16 to 24 year olds who want to make a positive impact in their community.

Young people in England, Scotland and Wales aged between 16 and 24 years
who are not in full time education or employment can apply. The funding is
to be used by the young people to develop and run projects in their local
community. Projects should provide a positive benefit to the local
community and look to enhance the young leaders employability and
leadership skills.

Two young people need to lead the project and engage a further 50 young
people throughout the course of the project. The young people will need to
have a youth worker/training organisation able to support them throughout
the project.

To support the project, young people will be given access to a specially
designed App. Once downloaded, the app will help them keep track of their
milestones and achievements while supporting them with the planning and
delivery of their social action project.

All workers supporting young people will receive a copy of an employability
toolkit to run through employment ready sessions and the QCF Unit
Leadership pack, which will provide activities and recording documents for
the young person to complete to gain their QCF unit in Leadership. In
addition, young people will have access to job and apprenticeship vacancies
within the Starbucks Coffee Chain.

This year's Starbucks Youth Action is a rolling programme running with
monthly deadlines.

The remaining deadlines are:* 5 October 2015, 2 November 2015, 1 December
2015, 4 January 2016, 1 February 2016 and 7 March 2016*.

Applicants will be notified of the outcome within two weeks of the deadline
for the month in which they submitted their application.

An online application form and full details can be found on the Starbucks
