Young Women Changemakers

Young Women Changemakers

We’re looking for 12 young women aged 16–18 living in Scotland to become our Young Women Changemakers group. The group will work together to create a resource and workshop about activism and making change.

Duration: January–April and July–October 2025
Deadline to apply: 18th December 2024

Role expectations

  • Attend 8x 2-hour co-design sessions (January–April). The first session will take place online, and the group will decide if they’d like the following sessions to take place in person, online or a mix of both.
  • Attend 3 or 4 online consultation sessions (July–October) 
  • Participate during the above sessions to create a resource and workshop about activism and making change

We will cover travel expenses for participants traveling to any in person sessions (but would encourage you to use your bus pass where possible).

Experience & requirements

You are welcome to apply if:

  • You are aged 16–18
  • You live in Scotland
  • You identify as a young woman, or are a person of a marginalised gender who feels comfortable in a space that centres the experiences of young women and girls

You do not need any experience in activism, just a willingness to learn.
