This programme came to an end in 2023. It was supported by the Co-op Foundation and the #iwill Fund, and focused on youth activism, inspiring a new generation of young people aged between 12-20 to use co-operative values and principles to make a change where they live.
Delivered in towns and cities across England, each cohort was encouraged to think differently to solve problems in their community and understand the real power of their voice. Empowered with the skills, knowledge and platform to tell their story, they worked together to inspire real, meaningful change.
Through taking part in the scheme, young people learned new skills, met new people and had fun. Focused on team work and problem solving, all those taking part gained the confidence to tackle the issues that mattered to them.
