We write to you with exciting news – the launch of Oxfam International Youth Partnerships 2007-2010.



We are looking for 300 more young people who are currently working with others in their communities to achieve positive change. These 300 young people will come from all regions in the world and will join action partners from 2004 and 2000 as part of the OIYP network. From 2007 until 2010, Oxfam will facilitate programs to build their skills and knowledge, facilitate exchange and support their action in their communities.



As an action partner, we are asking you to help us find the next generation! Please pass on the enclosed information to young people in your community, country and region.



Before passing this information on, read the 2007-2010 application form and think about which young people you know of that could learn and grow through the OIYP process. You might also want to think about organizations in your community who could pass this onto young people.



Download application forms in word or PDF from www.iyp.oxfam.org. We are also posting you application forms and posters to share with your community. All applications must be submitted on the application form with at least one support letter from a community member or organisation.



We hope that you will take up the exciting opportunity to support a new generation of young people to join the OIYP network.



All the best from,



May, Anna, Nicole, Gabi, Cherie

Oxfam staff team
