Leadership Programme
The UpRising flagship core leadership - nine month evening-based programme, involving ‘access behind the scenes’ sessions with some of the UK’s most senior leaders and equipping young people with the knowledge, networks, skills and confidence to reach their leadership potential and take social action on issues.
The core programme offers participants a unique first-hand view of the way that political, business, public sector and community organisations work together to shape our communities. Participants are matched with a coach & a mentor who offers one to one support throughout their time on the programme.
Participants develop teamwork skills working with other UpRisers to design and deliver a social action campaign on a local issue they are passionate about. As well as forming networks with senior figures, participants also build strong networks amongst their peers on the programme.
Alumni can be trained by partner organisation Future Foundations to become Near-Peers to participants attending the Fastliners programme, contact Rukaiya Jeraj on 020 8921 2854 for more information.
