They play a key role in ensuring young people’s engagement and involvement in the local Well London programme. There is a choice of models for Well London Young Leaders that work well alone or in combination. Whatever the model or combination of models chosen it is important that the Young Leaders are recruited from the target neighbourhood – hence building local knowledge , skills, capacity and leadership.]]> http://www.welllondon.org.uk/index.php?resourceid=1960 http://www.welllondon.org.uk/index.php?resourceid=1960 <![CDATA[Well London Apprenticeships]]> http://www.welllondon.org.uk/index.php?resourceid=1961 http://www.welllondon.org.uk/index.php?resourceid=1961 <![CDATA[ In Well London Phase 2 our partners Youth Force have provided Youth Work training and development support for our Well London Apprenticeship scheme. This scheme recruits two young people who are not in employment, education or training (NEET) from each of the local areas. Apprentices are employed by different local organisations, ranging from local Leisure Centres to major locally based Football Clubs, to GP Practices. Apprentices work part time for the host organisation and part time alongside their local Well London Coordinator and Well London Delivery Team. Apprentices undertake a range of roles matched to their individual knowledge, skills, interests and aspirations. Most importantly they act as young champions for the local Well London programme and play key peer to peer roles in on going young people engagement, promoting and signposting other young people to Well London and other local activities and opportunities. ]]> http://www.welllondon.org.uk/index.php?resourceid=1962 http://www.welllondon.org.uk/index.php?resourceid=1962 <![CDATA[Young Ambassadors and Young Health Champions]]> http://www.welllondon.org.uk/index.php?resourceid=1963 http://www.welllondon.org.uk/index.php?resourceid=1963 <![CDATA[ There are a number of different models for recruiting, training and developing young people to take local leadership roles. These may be on a voluntary or paid/sessional basis. In Well London Phase 1 our partners Central YMCA recruited, developed and mentored a team of Young Ambassadors who worked locally and across all the Well London neighbourhoods to increase young people involvement. The Royal Society of Public Health  national Young Health Champions Programme also provides an excellent and accredited training model for developing local Young Leaders for the Well London programme. ]]> http://www.welllondon.org.uk/index.php?resourceid=1964 http://www.welllondon.org.uk/index.php?resourceid=1964 <![CDATA[ ]]> http://www.welllondon.org.uk/index.php?resourceid=256 http://www.welllondon.org.uk/index.php?resourceid=256 <![CDATA[ Achievements in Well London Phase 1 Young Ambassadors recruited in every area Young Ambassadors recruited, trained and supported 2421 young people (13-25 yrs) engaged through the projects (Target 2400) 50.11% of residents engaged in Well London projects were 19 or under The Well London Community World Cup was planned and run with considerable involvement of many of the Young Ambassadors.

In Greenwich , Nancy ’s role as a Young Ambassador was described by the Well London Borough Coordinator on the Barnfield Estate as ‘phenomenal’ .  Nancy designed flyers for activities, produced posters promoting residents meetings, supported the local talent show and was instrumental in giving the Greenwich Well London newsletter a young look and feel.  Nancy brought ideas for the local residents association alive by designing a website for the local community.  The site contains information of local events, activities and services available to residents, giving 24 hour access to information.  She later designed the website for the Well London World Cup, a football tournament for all 20 Well London areas held in June 2010.  Due to her efforts Nancy was a runner up in the London Health Commission 2010 Community Action awards scheme for her work on the Barnfield Estate in Greenwich. Klein was the Young Ambassador for the Broad Green area in Croydon. He was attracted to becoming a Well London Young Ambassador because, ‘It would bring the community together and give the kids something to do. It would give me experience and help with my career. Plus, it would give me support to set up some of my ideas.' Klein’s project was ambitious. Through organising a series of regular football sessions for the children and young people of the estate, he set up local football teams and, over time, developed this into a local football academy for 11 – 15 year olds from the estate. He was inspired by the Dutch football model which takes a holistic view of football development and includes advice on healthy eating and the different career opportunities within football. Derby Road Football Academy (DRAFT) is now a constituted charity. It would bring the community together and give the kids something to do. It would give me experience and help with my career. Plus, it would give me support to set up some of my ideas. Sidrah was the Youth Ambassador in Canning Town, Newham .  Sidrah designed and implemented local projects including a drama class with a theatre group from Stratford for young people.  When asked about her work Sidrah said: It’s been an amazing experience. I feel a lot more confident talking to people now. It’s made me understand what I want to do with my future... I want to get a career out of it and push myself a bit more.  Before I got involved with Well London , I did have an idea what I was going to do because I studied business at college. But I don’t enjoy that as much as practical stuff, so I felt a little bit lost. But now I understand what I really want to do. It changed me a lot. I have goals now and ambitions. ]]> http://www.welllondon.org.uk/index.php?resourceid=205 http://www.welllondon.org.uk/index.php?resourceid=205
