<\/a>So- you are passionate about the alleviation of global poverty and injustice and are looking for ways to inspire a new generation, but don’t know how to go about it…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well look no further, Oxfam has the answer!<\/strong> Oxfam is launching a drive to recruit volunteers across the South East of England, particularly in High Wycombe, Chelmsford, Basingstoke, Winchester, Ashford and Canterbury.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2018But what wondrous task will these volunteers carry out?’ we hear you cry.<\/p>\n

The answer is simple: they will inspire the younger generation to campaign for change through visiting schools and youth groups in their local communities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oxfam Speakers play an essential role in their local communities through raising awareness about Oxfam’s key campaigning issues amongst youth. From campaigns about climate change to the Robin Hood Tax, they envision and empower young people to get involved in making a difference globally.<\/p>\n

By presenting workshops and talks about Oxfam’s key campaigning issues to young people aged between 8 and 18 Speakers really do have an incredible opportunity to be a catalyst for change. We find this very exciting.<\/p>\n

\u2018It all sounds well and good’ you are thinking, \u2018But I’ve never done anything like this before’<\/p>\n

It’s a good point. But don’t let it put you off: all Oxfam speakers will be trained and supported by Oxfam’s regional youth and schools campaigners whilst being given the opportunity to be creative and bring their own ideas and experience to the role. We would love people with campaigns experience in working with young people but we are more bothered about your commitment, passion for global issues, and ability to impact the younger generation with your enthusiasm.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These voluntary positions are for the period of a year for one day a week, with the odd bit of extra planning. So, if you’re passionate about global issues, love working with young people and enjoy using your creativity to make a difference, then get involved!!<\/p>\n

Do you want to motivate and inspire youth in your area to campaign for change?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just remember: We couldn’t do it without you!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Please contact Jeri Dash on 01865 473248 or <\/em>jdash@oxfam.org.uk<\/em><\/span><\/a> for an informal chat about the role and the application process. Alternatively full details and an application process are available at <\/em>http:\/\/www.oxfam.org.uk\/get_involved\/volunteer\/latest.html#vos<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
