We’ve just celebrated the graduation of 96 Team v Leaders. These exceptional young individuals have collectively impacted almost three million people this year. Impressive, right?
It only takes one person to make a positive impact on the world. However, a group of Team v Leaders can do it more rapidly and with greater reach. Want to be part of this inspirational movement? Here’s your chance to apply for Team v before the end of August.
How Our Leaders Captured Hearts and Minds
Defining Healthy Relationships
Team v utilized online quizzes and a Twitter Q&A session to explore the concept of a “healthy relationship.” They tackled the complex issues surrounding love and relationships, sparking vital conversations among young people. This campaign successfully reached 2.9 million people.
Breaking Barriers with Immigrants
Immigration is a hot topic in UK politics, often portrayed negatively. Our Leaders worked hard to dismantle these stereotypes by hosting community events and sharing uplifting migration stories. 2,929 people participated in these events, transforming negative narratives into positive community stories.
Fashion for Life, Not Just for a Season
Clothing plays a crucial role in personal identity, yet many discard them carelessly. Through the Get Trashed campaign, Team v encouraged people to upcycle old clothes instead of tossing them. Their efforts reached 12,673 people, who embraced the idea of sustainable fashion by transforming old garments into new creations.
A Bright Future Ahead
- Team v Leaders have led and managed 600 volunteers, enhancing their leadership skills.
- 77% will continue leading community projects.
- 56% secured employment during or after their time with Team v, with one leader opening a comic book shop.
“It’s hard to explain just how much difference volunteering makes until you do it. Volunteering completely changed my life and gave me the confidence to do great things.”
