🔧 Fully Funded Internships for the Next Generation of Changemakers 🌍 Help young people build the skills to navigate an increasingly complex world Creativity is declining. Curiosity is under pressure. Resilience is being tested. Evidence from the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking shows a steady decline in creativity since the mid-1990s. In a world that is increasingly divided, experiencing increased conflict and people and planet are being harmed, the ability to think critically, stay curious, and respond with resilience has never been more important. Rebel Punkworx is responding with action. ⚡ What your support makes possible We are creating fully funded internship opportunities for young people from diverse backgrounds—removing financial barriers and unlocking potential. These interns don’t just learn. They go on to teach, mentor, and inspire others. With lifelong impact. Using our unique “vintage radio” project—repurposed into a modern, connected learning tool—interns help deliver hands-on workshops in: Schools and colleges Universities Youth groups, clubs, scouts, guides, cadets and community spaces 🧠 What interns and young people gain Through this programme, interns will: 🎤 Mentor and guide young people through practical, hands-on learning 🔄 Help others understand sustainability, circular economy and real-world impact 🧩 Build confidence in communication, storytelling and leadership 🌱 Support the development of curiosity, creativity and resilience in others and practical employability skills in project management, design, systems thinking and innovation tools and techniques And in doing so, they develop these same skills themselves. 🔥 Why this matters This is not theory. This is not another classroom session. This is about: Giving young people agency Helping them understand the systems shaping their lives Equipping them with the confidence to question, create and contribute Each funded intern can go on to reach dozens—potentially hundreds—of other young people. 🤝 How you can help 💛 Individual supporters Your contribution—no matter the size—helps fund an intern and unlock opportunity for someone who might otherwise be excluded for career development opportunities. 👉 Fund a place.
