YouthNet Co-Creation Workshop Volunteer's Needed

Hey Everyone :wave:

We're looking for 16-25 year olds for a one-off workshop opportunity. If you've ever borrowed money or considered it, we need you!
You'll need to be able to draw on your own experiences to help develop a concept idea for a money management app for young people.

YouthNet are working with MAS (Money Advice Service) to create this innovative mobile app designed for young people all around Money Management and borrowing. If you'd like to be part of the creative process please apply :)

The workshop is taking place on Saturday 12th October from 10.30am- 4.30pm in our central London office, we'll be covering volunteers' travel and lunch expenses and also giving everyone who takes part a prize. :hyper:

You can apply through our Do-it advert, or if you've got any questions please email Laura at laura.brumfitt@youthnet.org. :thumb:

Thanks
JPick

    Dude...
    Are you aged 18-25 and willing to share your experiences with managing money? Do you want to help co-create a money management app for other young people?
    We'd like to gain your insights into managing money as a 18-25 year old.

    Hey Angel - apologies for the confusion!

    It is open for 16-25s, however, places are limited, which is why the Do-it page says 18-25. If you want to apply, go for it and we'll let you know if you have a place as soon as we know numbers :)

    My bad! I should have made the age range clearer- as JPick says places are limited but *please* apply anyway and if your between 16-18 and there are spare places you might get a place.

    We'll be letting people know by the end of next week whether you have a place :thumb:

    If you've got any friends, brothers, sisters etc who might be interested pass on the link :)

    Looking back on this thread and noticed the age thing says between 16-18 I applied thinking it was to the age of 25. Will this mean I dont get a place?

    Hey Claire - it is open to 16-25s. On the Do-it advert it says 18-25, as priority goes to older applicants. So you're definitely within the age range ;)

    Ibrum was just saying that 16-18s could apply too :)
