Would you join us?

=== How to apply? ===

In order to apply to this event, we will ask from you:

* A motivation letter stating why you are the right person to attend YTA 2019 (2 A4 pages maximum)

* Clearly state whether Student (it’s compulsory to provide a copy of a valid a time of the event student ID/card, picture or scan) or Young Professional. If not mentioned, you’ll be subjected to Young Professional fee by default.

* CV pointing out all the activities, initiatives, international projects you’ve been involved within and/or outside your organisation

* To be ready to transfer 150 EUR as confirmation of your selection when that time will come.

Moreover,

* A support letter from a Trainer, aka Angel, willing and ready to follow up on your development and support you for the next year (till December 2020) (**) (***). Make sure that we have her/his email address.

This one is not compulsory, as we can provide an “Angel” if you don’t have any or request one among our volunteers.

Be aware that only complete applications will be considered for selection.

Do also take into consideration that, once selected, some preparation work will be expected from you before the event.

=== Selection criteria ===

* Self presentation

* Experience in your organisation

* Participated in at least 1 training event (3 working days minimum)

* Diversity (organisation, gender, country, etc)

* Be available to deliver training for the next *** 3 years ***

NOTE: Next to the elements mentioned above, there is a part of subjectivity also from the trainers involved in the project. Whatever the result of the selection, we are ready and willing to provide some feedback to the applications; this might take some time though, depending on number of requests.

=== Application DL === All the requested materials for your application must reach the email address yta@zerogeneration.org before 25th August 2019, 23:00 CET. We strongly advise you to start working on your application right away as collecting everything may take more time than you expect, especially choosing your future Angel.

=== Questions? ===

Still here… If you have questions about submitting your application or just a chat about how it’s like to be a trainer, reach out to the people responsible for YTA 2019 aka Milda Latakaite (milda@zerogeneration.org) & Herve Tunga (herve@zerogeneration.org).

We highly recommend you to take the needed time to read all the materials, ask questions or clarifications and start preparing your application ASAP.

The choice is yours to make… Are you joining?

(*) You may be requested extra credentials to be recognise as Trainer in some of them. Contact your NGO Training Coordination for details.

(**) To support the development of YTA graduates, we set up an Angel Program.

(***) If you don’t have a Trainer as Angel, let us know. We do have volunteers willing to take care of you. Find guidelines and extra needed information in our website: http://www.youthtrainersacademy.com/2019/08/01/call-for-participants-yta-2019/
