The Archbishop of York Youth Trust announced on Tuesday that it has further extended its Young Leaders’ Award with 315 schools having signed up to the Award since its launch. The Archbishop said, ‘Young people have the potential to change our society for the better, and my Young Leaders’ Award is helping them to do it. Up and down the north of England these young leaders are using their creativity, passion and energy to transform their communities and be the change they want to see.’ For example Church Walk CE Primary School asked the council if they could put out more litter bins and signs reminding people to pick up litter and clean up dog fouling. The council visited the class and promised to put signs and bins in the churchyard and surrounding area. Young leaders have learned decision-making, compassion, interpersonal and organising skills, and being listeners to others.
