The Department of Youth and Culture has identified the strengthening of the capacity of young people for effective management, leadership and advocacy as desired outcomes in its youth participation programme. As a means of achieving this objective for 2012, the Department has embarked on a series of training for youth leaders; organisations and agencies which focus on youth development.
The first in the series of training targeted approximately 25 youth leaders and was in the form of a 1 day retreat where the topic of Strategic Management was explored. That training which was held at the Soroptimist Centre, included plenary, theoretical and practical sessions and was facilitated by Mr. Fabian Marcel Fahie.
The Department is pleased to inform youth leaders that details are confirmed for the second training retreat, scheduled for Thursday 19th July 2012 from 8:30 to 1:00 pm, at the Wallblake Conference Centre. The session will explore Effective Fundraising Strategies with particular focus on What Funding Agencies look for and Effective Fundraising Proposals. The facilitator will be Professor Delroy Louden, President of the Anguilla Community college.
This training promises to be very informative and Youth Leaders, executive members of youth organisations, and members of organisations and agencies which focus on youth development are encouraged to avail themselves of this opportunity. Please contact the Department of Youth and Culture by calling 498-3792/ 497-0969 or emailing hyacinth.augustine@gov.ai to register. Training is free of charge and refreshments will be served. All are encouraged to register early as space is limited.
