International Women’s Development Agency (IWDA) is creating a new, exciting leadership initiative called Global Youth Impact (GYI). GYI will introduce girls to a range of high level leadership skills.
Global Youth Impact is a program for girls in years 10-11, which develops practical leadership skills while focusing on issues of gender and development, social justice and human rights. The program will encourage participants to think critically about gender inequalities and social justice issues that are really important to them, and will get them thinking about the different types of career options which are available in development, human rights and social justice based organisations. And they won’t be just talking– participants actually get to take some action and influence those around them!
For more information and application forms, please visit our website www.globalyouthimpact.org.au, send us an email: globalyouthimpact@iwda.org.au or phone us on 1300 661 812 and ask to speak to Kathy or Caitlin.
GYI has been funded by the Australian Government through the Women’s Leadership and Development Programme.
