Over the last 10 years, I have volunteered as a Community Engagement Officer for several voluntary organisations, in the disadvantaged areas of inner city Bristol.
Through this journey, I have come to believe that supporting and celebrating young people empowers them to feel part of their community and have self belief. This subsequently inspires them to pursue and achieve their potential.
In light of this, I am currently fundraising for the next 3 month for a youth-led awards event - EMPOWERED. This will celebrate the achievements of several young people from Bristol's disadvantaged inner city communities.
EMPOWERED will see local residents nominate and celebrate talented young people through the following categories: Education, Choices, Community, Sports, Enterprise, Arts (Performing, Literal and Visual), IT and Leadership.
EMPOWERED will also give:
· Inner City Young People – the opportunity to volunteer on the project to develop their workplace skills, gain work experience and even a qualification through the process.
· Local Residents/Businesses – the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to their community and the next generation.
The evening will consist of exciting performances, guest speakers, awards, food, music, stalls and much more. We want to make the event FREE for young people and local families to attend, so will appreciate your support towards the costs.
