Summary

My project idea is to train young people on how they can set up their social enterprise. This project is targeted at young people that are unemployed and are not in formal education and are between the ages of 16-21. This project will consist of a 2 day training programme for volunteers and a 5 day social enterprise training session for the young beneficiaries. I intend to recruit 7 young volunteers and 20 young people who will benefit from the training sessions. The social enterprise training session will be facilitated by some of the young volunteers and they will be supported by a social enterprise trainer. The other volunteers will be involved in the planning, and delivery of the project. They will help out with administration, leaflet distribution, monitoring and evaluation etc.
