Rehna Yaseen, a mentor on Outward Bound Trustâs Outdoor Leadership course
An outdoor leadership course for young people from Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds has been launched.
The course is part of by a project by a coalition of outdoor education providers led by YHA (England & Wales). Already 15 new jobs have been created through the Generation Green project which will help more young people get outside and connect with nature.
Ensuring YHA maximises its reach amongst young people through its Generation Green funded projects, the charity has recruited a 12-strong volunteer Youth Advisory Team, which includes Louise Thompson (23), a sustainable product design graduate who is currently unemployed.
