SocialCapitalist is a new programme from the Schumacher Institute building new Social Capital in Bristol. We need volunteers interested in sustainability, the green economy and Bristol, for a new programme starting in January 2012. 

Unemployed or under-employed young people volunteer to work on short projects that produce a recognisable social benefit for Bristol, and use this as a platform into creating and finding new work.
 
Volunteers receive careers advice, guidance and mentoring during their placement, as well as a good introduction to and contacts in Bristol's vibrant third sector and sustainability industries. We reimburse travel and lunch expenses during a one-month placement. 
 
We are holding an Open Day for the programme starting in January 2012, in partnership with Spinnaker Associates.
 
We invite young people (aged 18-30) who want to know more about the scheme to come and talk with us about opportunities on offer. Youth Workers, Employability Professionals and Advice and Guidance Counsellors are very welcome; as are others from Bristol's sustainability and third sectors.
 
This event is part of Global Entreprenuership Week
