Co-options to Compass Youth Organising Committee

November 18th, 2010

Compass Youth Committee

Compass Youth is open to all members of Compass aged under 31 years old. We have recently campaigned around youth unemployment, unfair tuition fees and about making politics relevant to young people. We hope to campaign around tax dodgers and the cuts to the Education Maintenance Allowance this year and we would like your help.

Our Compass Youth Organising Committee is seeking to co-opt up to four new members in the coming weeks. If you are aged under 31 and feel you want to get involved in organising our campaigns with us this is an ideal opportunity to join our vibrant and active committee. We are looking for young Compass members who feel they are able to offer us skills and support in the important ‘behind the scenes’ work.

If you are interested in this opportunity or want to know more please email youthchair@compassonline.org.ukwith a short statement of around 250 words about who you are and why you want to get involved by Thursday 9 December. This is open to all members of Compass aged under 31 but we are particularly keen to hear from women applicants and younger members. You don’t need to have any previous committee experience – just a willingness to learn and an enthusiasm for building the ‘good society’.
