Applications for Young Social Pioneers 2010 close Friday June 11.

Young Social Pioneers is an exceptional year-long training and development program for social change-makers.

Drawing on international best-practice, the program is designed specifically for young Australians working with purpose and passion for a social cause. Fourteen social pioneers will land a place on YSP 2010 and can benefit from skills development, mentoring, intensive group and individual training and access to a global network of social innovators.

“YSP has made me feel like what I am doing has great value in the world and is worth taking seriously. The program has also had a profound impact on my organisation,” said Tim Kenworthy, founder of Youth Tree and participant in the 2009 YSP program.
