IFM-SEI is looking for young leaders that would be interested in guiding and supporting groups of youth activists from across Europe and beyond in implementing g-local campaigns.

The implementation of the g-local campaigns is the unique focus of the project. The campaigns will highlight the importance of diverse, accessible and inclusive participation opportunities on a local, national and international level.

Through implementing g-local campaigns we want to reach and engage marginalised youth and raise awareness of the barriers to long-term volunteering that young people from marginalised communities face. They will serve as a good opportunity to motivate ad support young people to take action towards widening participation, inclusion and diversity.

As a mentor you will be responsible to:

• Take part in a three-day training that will provide you with necessary skills to facilitate the implementation of the campaigns (foreseen dates are 23-25 September 2021, 15.00-18.00 CET);
• Find and support a group of young activists from your organisation or local community in preparation of a campaign that will reach out to and engage marginalised youth and raise awareness of the barriers they face in long-term volunteering;
• Mentor the group in the implementation of a local campaign;
• Ensure the coordination between the IFM-SEI and the young activists;
• Prepare a follow-up and evaluation of the campaign after its completion.

• You have been previously involved in IFM-SEI or a Member Organisation;
• You have experience working on the topics of youth participation, volunteering and youth activism;
• You are interested in making the participatory processes more diverse, accessible and inclusive;
• You have experience in mentoring groups of young people;
• You are committed and motivated to participate in the project for its whole duration;
• You are responsive, reliable and able to perform the tasks.

*Each mentor will be paid for the services provided.

If you are interested in the role, please register here before 15 September 2021.
