HOPEHIV's youth worker programme
HOPEHIV believes in the potential of young people to change the future, whether they're in the UK or in Africa. Our Youth Worker Programme offers church youth workers the opportunity to turn their youth group into a social enterprise for HOPEHIV. The programme offers tools, materials and resources to help you hone your approach to leadership. You and your group can develop your talents, skills and ideas and invest them in some of the world's most vulnerable young people, helping them to make the most of their talents, skills and ideas...
that all sounds great. but how?*

STEP 1: Seed capital. Your aim is to turn £10 into £100 or more. The tenner is your 'seed capital'.
STEP 2: Schedule. You'll need two group sessions to plan, then two to three months to set up and run your mini-business, organise your event etc.

STEP 3: Tools, materials and resources. The two group sessions, plus enterprise planning and personal development tools and heaps of useful stuff about HOPEHIV are all in the side bar on the left .
STEP 4: Go for it! Launch the business, start advertising the event etc and apply the elbow grease.
|
STEP 5: Connect with HOPEHIV. Email lindsay@hopehiv.org to let her know what you're up to and if you need any help. You can also sign up for our quarterly enews for churches so you can see what other supporters are up to. Once your products have been sold, your event has been run etc, use the gift form to send us the proceeds to HOPEHIV, 79 Craven Gardens, London SW19 8LU.
*The steps listed here are just a guide. Every youth group is different and you can of course decide to run the programme exactly how you want to. Do email lindsay@hopehiv.org if you need any help or advice.
| HOPEHIV would like to thank The Holst Group for providing their professional personal development resources for use in our Youth Worker Programme. Please visit them at www.theholstgroup.co.uk to find out more. |

We see hope in Sunday Cafe.
In November 2009, HOPEHIV launched its Youth Worker Programme at Youthwork the conference. We challenged youth workers to turn their youth groups into a social enterprise for HOPEHIV using £10 seed capital. As part of the challenge, groups entered a competition to win a trip to Africa. We got some wonderful entries but the eventual winners were Project 10 from Sunday Cafe.
Sunday Cafe is a weekly sort-of-church for 15-25 year olds from various churches in Frome, Somerset. They launched the idea of a social enterprise for HOPEHIV with a Dragons Den style contest, weeding out rhino breeding and silent busking until they settled on the idea of a 'Ballroom Dancing Taster Evening'. Splitting into task groups to plan catering, marketing etc, the group named themselves 'Project 10'. Pre-event publicity from the local press and selling tickets through the town's main theatre ensured community-wide interest and a really successful evening. Project 10 are very, very pleased to have won, but also really enjoyed the challenge, with many of them trying things they had never done before. |
