Are you aged 16-23? Well I ask as Oxfam is looking for people aged 16-23 to join their Youth Boards. As a member of you’ll shape Oxfam’s campaigning, training and awareness-raising projects with young people.
Aside from y'know helping the world there are a few personal benefits too, such as building your skills in campaigning, communications and teamwork, meeting and working with like-minded people and you'll have the opportunity to get involved in exciting campaigns and events as a youth representative of Oxfam. Oxfam will support you to turn your ideas into engaging projects that you can run in your own community.
Initially as an applicant you don’t need to know anything about global poverty or campaigning, but you must have the enthusiasm to learn about them as well as the get-up-and-go to put your ideas into action.
