YPI Initiative
The Youth and Philanthropy Initiative is an innovative way to financially support local, grassroots charities while engaging young people in a hands-on active citizenship experience.
For the second year in a row, the school has been given the opportunity to take part in this exciting initiative. On 9th January, all pupils from S3 took part in a launch event.
The pupils will undertake a 12 week programme within their English class, where they will research their then create a presentation about their chosen charity. A shortlist of around 6 presentations will progress to the final, which will take place on Wednesday 21st March at 6pm.
The charity which, the winning presentation at the final is promoting, will receive £3000!!!
