We support the International Young Leaders Network which works to identify and train young and emerging leaders globally. This programme has attracted some of the most talented people in the charity, private and public sectors from the Director or Caritas Moldova through those working in Sudan to those who will be future political leaders.

Over the last three years we have sponsored conferences for Young Leaders in Cambridge, Buchurest and Jerusalem  and will again be a sponsor for the 2010 conference which takes place in Oxford.

Additionally each year we support a young person to spend a year linked to the Young Leaders Network or on sabbatical in Oxford. Currently we are supporting a young woman who has spent four years working with the UN in Darfur, to spend time researching refugee protection while linked to both Blackfriars Hall and the Refugee Studies Centre at Oxford.

Epiphany funds also back "Leaders to Come" which is a programme of work intended to encourage sixth formers to serve in their local community.

The above are quite new initiatives but we also continue to provide vocational training in Romania, Sri Lanka and Pakistan and provide bursaries for young people to undertake courses here in the UK. 

Volunteering

Our projects abroad and at home through Chrysalis often benefit from those who are able to give some time as a vounteer. Whether it's just for a couple of weeks or for a month or two, whether it's part of a "gap year", "career break" or annual leave why not consider volunteering, it's most helpful, extremely rewarding and a great experience.
