Moving forward, every Thursday will be sending you a round up of youth opportunities including grants, scholarships, awards, conferences, etc.

I am sure there is a likelihood you subscribed to our main newsletter for the content and aren’t necessarily looking for opportunities.

If this sounds like you - I recommend going to the bottom of this email and simply just unsubscribing (don’t worry you won’t be unsubscribed from our main newsletter on Tuesdays and I won’t catch feelings).
