On Thursday this week Class 4 took part in their Archbishop's Trust Youth Leaders Award Launch Assembly.
The Youth Leaders Award is a unique active citizenship programme which empowers young people to make a difference in their local community whilst growing in key leadership skills at the same time.
The Archbishop of York Youth Trust is a charity based in the north of England which began it's life in 2008 when the Archbishop of York Dr. John Sentamu announced his vision that rather than being part of the problem facing some of our communities today, young people were actually the answer.
The Youth Trust believes in young people and that they have the potential to change our world for the better.
As a charity the Archbishop's Trust exists to help resolve issues through reaching out to young people, engaging with young people and empowering them to be the change they want to see.
Throughout the awards there will be lots of challenges set to help you serve others and be the change you want to see.
There will be 4 school challenges that will be completed as a class and 4 mini personal challenges that will be completed at home.
Finally there is the community challenge that we will all work together as a class to organise. This will take place in the summer term and will complete the award. This will be our way of serving the community.
All the challenges will be recorded in our Archbishop trust scrap book as a way of evidencing the challenges we have completed and celebrating our success.
When all the challenges have been completed and we have shown that we can be good leaders and make positive changes in the world, in our school and in our families we will be presented with the Key stage 2 Archbishop Trust Youth Leaders Award in our final assembly in July.
We hope that you now feel well informed about the Youth Leaders Awards and we look forward to sharing our progress with you throughout the year.
