Student Impact Group: Constitution

A constitution has just been drafted for the Student Impact Group (SIG). This brings us a step closer to empower the body of students to personally address issues that they face in the ways they see fit. We're really excited about this group - not only will it ensure the work and ethos of the YLMP will continue long after the Foundation has left, but it will also help develop a culture of leadership, action and initiative amongst the students as individuals.

We hope to launch the SIG next academic year. Until then, there are still a few details to iron out. Aside from editing the constitution itself, we need to find out more about the current Student Representative Council at Kinbu. We need to assess whether or not it makes sense for these two groups to operate individually or to organise some kind of merger.

I'll update this post with a copy of the draft constitution as soon as possible. Thank you to Mahmoud Jajah, one of our junior mentors, for putting it together.
