Join an exciting, fast-paced and growing social enterprise as our Programme Facilitator (Youth Democracy) with a primary focus on delivering the ‘Portsmouth: A Young Changemakers City’ project.

Unloc’s mission is to empower young people to be innovative changemakers who seek to build stronger communities and sustainable businesses. We develop young people’s skills, enhance their potential and boost their determination to succeed. This is encapsulated in our ‘Developing Young Potential’ tag-line. We work towards our mission by delivering inspiring educational programmes in our network of 100+ schools and colleges.

The ‘Portsmouth: A Young Changemakers City’ project is a pilot programme that aims to develop Portsmouth into a place where young people have the power, influence and platforms to create change regardless of their background or upbringing. The cross city and cross setting programme will focus on working with 5 schools / community settings to provide a range of platforms and interventions for young people to explore power, learn how to leverage it and
drive change. Most notably, this includes:

* Working with teachers and youth work professionals to develop a toolkit to help individual schools and community groups implement democratic ideals into day-to-day life for young people.
* Engaging each school with a ‘Changemakers Day’, an immersive day-long experience exposing young people to democracy, power and influence – culminating in a live Q&A/debate with local decision makers.
* Delivering a six month-long ‘Changemakers Academy’ programme for young people with a drive to lead social change. This more intensive programme will give participants the skills, knowledge and networks to understand, influence and build power, through four weekend training programmes / meet-ups per cohort.

Unloc was founded in 2013 by award-winning young leaders and advocates Hayden Taylor and Ben Dowling.
