Applications open for 2011 Clore Social Leadership programme
Howard Lake | 19 April 2010 | News
The Clore Social Leadership Programme, which aims to identify, connect and develop emerging talent in the third sector, opens for applications for its second round of Fellowships today. Up to 20 Fellowships will be awarded and announced in October 2010, with new Fellows starting their personalised development programme in January 2011.
Applications are open to UK residents working in, or closely with, the third sector in the UK as a paid member of staff or volunteer, involved in work of significant benefit to individuals and communities in the UK and committed to working in the sector in the long term.
Fellowships last between 12 and 24 months, on a full or part-time basis, during which time Fellows will attend two intensive residential courses, undertake mentoring and coaching, an extended secondment and “engage in focused reflection and research”. A bursary of up to £20,000 will be available to support Fellows or the organisations which employ them.
The Programme appointed its first cohort of Fellows in October 2009 who started their Programme in January 2010. Amongst the current Fellows, Caroline Beaumont is researching the contribution that non-financial resources make to the sustainable funding mix; Joe Ludlow, NESTA-funded Fellow, is piloting a new approach to social investment; and Rowena Lewis, Head of Fundraising and Development at The Fawcett Society, is exploring women’s participation and representation in the voluntary sector.
The Clore Duffield Foundation is contributing £1.5 million to the programme over its first three years. The programme also receives support from organisations including Capacitybuilders, the Leadership Trust and Resolution Trust.
The closing date for applications is 3 June 2010 with interviews taking place in September.
