Amnesty is in the process of designing a new global strategy to become a bigger, bolder, and more inclusive movement. The design process will be rolled out until Amnesty\u2019s Global Assembly in July 2020 and facilitated by the Global Strategy & Impact Programme (GSIP) at the International Secretariat.<\/p>\n
The process will involve hearing from a wide range of stakeholders to help inform Amnesty International\u2019s future direction. The Youth Task Force will be one of the key groups to help translate the results of the global consultation into Amnesty\u2019s new strategy. For more details on the design process check our\u00a0#NextStrategy blog<\/a>. The purpose of the Youth Task Force is to refresh Amnesty\u2019s broad theory of change \u2013 working through the approaches and the tactics it must deploy to achieve change. Using the feedback received in earlier phases of the design process, the Youth Task Force will propose models and options to guide Amnesty International\u2019s long-term influencing strategy. The Task Force will also work collaboratively with other internal groups to help guide the drafting of Amnesty\u2019s new global strategy.<\/p>\n Membership Details<\/strong><\/p>\n Scope:\u00a0<\/strong>The Youth Task Force will consist of a group of up to 15 youth leaders aged 18-24 from both within the Amnesty International movement but also from outside (external) organisations and partners. Two participants will be selected from within Amnesty\u2019s existing\u00a0Global Youth Collective<\/a>.<\/p>\n Participation:\u00a0<\/strong>Youth Task Force members will participate in a 3-day workshop in London, United Kingdom from October 28-30, 2019. Live interpretation will be provided during the workshop for up to 3 languages based on the composition of the group to ensure full participation and inclusivity.<\/p>\n Prior to the workshop, members of the Youth Task Force will be asked to participate remotely in approximately 3 interpreted preparatory meetings and in online spaces to prepare, and to help guide other elements of the strategy design process. Several materials will also be prepared to support the Task Force \u2013 including a detailed report on the outcome of the global consultation.<\/p>\n As the design process evolves, the Task Force might be called upon at further moments for between October 2019 and July 2020.<\/p>\n Selection Criteria<\/strong><\/p>\n For applicants internal to Amnesty we also welcome experience of being active in or having exposure to other organisations\/movements for social change.<\/em><\/p>\n Recruitment Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n Selection Committee:\u00a0<\/strong>The Youth Task Force will be selected by a member of Amnesty\u2019s International Board, one representative from Amnesty\u2019s Youth Collective, a member of the Global Strategy team, and Amnesty\u2019s Global Youth Manager.<\/p>\n Deadlines:<\/strong> Logistics:<\/strong>\u00a0The Global Strategy & Impact Programme of Amnesty International will arrange and provide travel and accommodation costs for the Youth Task Force members.
