Oxfam International Youth Partnerships (OIYP) is now launching recruitment for the 2010 – 2013 Program. Through the next 3 years, Oxfam Australia will provide opportunities and support for 300 young people to become Action Partners in order to demonstrate leadership and expand the influence of youth for positive changes locally, nationally and globally.  To be eligible to apply to become an Action Partner, applicants must be aged 18-25, able to speak English or Spanish conversationally and available to attend an 8 day event in November 2010, in New Delhi, India.

Oxfam Australia is requesting you to distribute this opportunity far and wide among your partner organisations and relevant youth networks. To be a part of OIYP is a wonderful opportunity to join a global network of young leaders.

Honor the Earth is seeking funding proposals for its Building Resilience in Indigenous Communities Initiative.

September 30th, 2009 is the deadline to submit a proposal for Honor the Earth’s fall/winter granting cycle, which will fund work that builds resilience in Indigenous communities.

Please view the full description of Honor the Earth’s application guidelines HERE. Below is a brief summary of our Building Resilience in Indigenous Communities Initiative. Please note that our grant-making resources for the 2009 fall/winter docket are more limited than in years past.  We regret this reality, but are grateful to still be able to fund this important work.

Resilience Theory is a discussion about how communities and societies will adapt to climate change. We understand that we must mitigate climate change and adapt, or we will be in a very difficult place as Indigenous peoples.
