FYI. |||| LEAD International announces the launch of its newest venture: the Young Leaders project 2005. This project provides students and young professionals the opportunity to work with - and be mentored by - a LEAD Fellow in Brazil, India, Indonesia or Mexico, on solutions-based work-placements.
The Young Leaders project will enable young people (generally in their 20s) to spend three months (June – August 2005) in their selected country, participating in a training program and working alongside a LEAD Fellow addressing sustainable development issues. At the end of this experience, each Young Leader will become a member of the global LEAD network of influential high-flyers in more than 80 countries. LEAD Fellows are a global network of more than 1500 talented individuals who have been through the LEAD training program in leadership and sustainable development. The Fellows chosen to act as mentors for our Young Leaders project have all been specially selected to provide a breadth of choice and unique experience for the Young Leaders. All these mentors are in positions of influence in their communities and are contributing to sustainable development in a variety of different ways. We are expecting to attract talented young people from all parts of the world with an interest in sustainable development and learning about other cultures. These future leaders will have the capacity and desire to make a difference to tomorrow's world. Our Young Leaders project will give them the chance to work with established leaders in the field of sustainable development in order to develop their own leadership potential. The project combines practical on-the-ground work experience with cross-cultural leadership training and the opportunity to meet and learn from peers. The Young Leaders project will be run by LEAD International, together with the LEAD offices in Brazil, India, Indonesia and Mexico. There are more than seventy work placements available in rural and urban, coastal and mountain, tropical and temperate areas in these four countries. Details about the placements are found on the website www.lead.org/youngleaders. Places are limited, and the application process is competitive. Applications are being accepted now, and application details can also be found on the website. The cost of each Young Leader placement is $5,000 excluding international travel and meals at the placement site.
