- Who you intend to work with – the young people, their needs that you are addressing, and evidence of that need
- The specific outcomes you want to achieve and what difference this will make for the young people
- How you will measure the difference you will make and how you intend to learn from this
- How you might grow and develop your project in the future
For example, a good description might look like this:
Working with young people (ages and demographics given) on targeted health outcomes (eg alcohol reduction or stronger mental resilience) through a clear project (eg youth-led project in a specific community) which takes the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic into account (including how to affect those hardest to reach), with clear measurable outcomes (eg through measurement such as surveys before and after). By working with local partners (eg government) there is potential to share learning and develop the project.
