Risedale School is proud to be working alongside the Richmond Yorkshire Community Interest Company (RYCIC) to offer nine of our pupils a unique leadership role: a seat on their brand-new Youth Board of Directors.

On Tuesday, 27th January, we were delighted to welcome Kate Wythe from RYCIC to the school to introduce this opportunity. RYCIC is the team behind fantastic local initiatives like the Richmond Bike Park project, the Amazing Neighbours scheme, and the town's bid for UK Town of Culture.

By joining the Youth Board, our pupils will have the chance to put Risedale’s school values into action while gaining authentic, real-world business experience.

Why apply?

This is a rare chance to step into a leadership role and gain professional insights usually reserved for the corporate world. As a Youth Director, you will:

• Make an Impact: Have a genuine voice in running RYCIC and its various community projects.
• Develop Your Skills: Learn the ropes of strategic planning, budgeting, and writing business proposals.
• Build Your Future: Receive high-level training that will provide a massive boost to your CV and future career prospects.
• The Perks: Enjoy free coffee and cake at board meetings!

What’s next?

Interested in leading the way? We will be discussing the application process in more depth during Form Time next week.

Don’t miss your chance to gain a seat at the table and help shape the future of our community!
