If you're into being a true emerging leader and want the feel-good warm-fuzzies of making a real difference too, YouthTree have the perfect volunteer positions in almost every area imaginable. We dream of a world where volunteering is as mainstream as cheeseburgers and breathing. If you want to be a part of making that world a reality, Big Help Mob have just opened 13(!) different positions to satisfy your every whim - from training to PR, logistics to social media, copywriting to research - there's something to suit you; wherever your grand plans are going to take you.

If you want to be a part of a youth-led organisation that is all about fun making a difference and, and you are a 16 - 30 year old who is passionate, creative, hard working and friendly (read: if you're a nerd with social skills), don't hesitate!

Hi young professionals - I'm currently developing a short 10 week mentoring program for young professionals about improving your leadership capacity. So I thought I would put out a few questions which I would love your feedback.

1. What topics would you like to learn more about?
2. Would you prefer face to face training or live online webinars?
3. What sort of costing would you expect to pay for a 10 week program (3 hours a week- one night)?

Would really love your thoughts....

The IYPF's vision is "a global community of young professionals creating a better world for current and future generations through local and global action". The IYPF sets out to achieve this by informing, inspiring and equipping young professionals as sustainability practitioners and social change agents. Young professionals are those aged 18 - 40, typically in the early stages of their careers.

During its first five years, the IYPF has made waves in international circuits, through attendance at events such as the World Summit for Sustainable Development, the Youth Employment Summit and the Commonwealth Heads of Governments Meeting 2002, and has support from a range of international leaders and heads of state. The IYPF is governed by an international board of six outstanding young professionals and is growing an impressive list of patrons on its Advisory Council including the President of the World Federation of Engineering Organisations, the Chair of the Commonwealth Engineering Council, the Executive Director of the Youth Employment Summit, and the Director of Friends of the Earth (Hong Kong).
