Cameron launches �10m international youth citizen service scheme - Civil Society - Fundraising - News - providing news and in-depth coverage of charities, voluntary organisations and not-for-profits: "David Cameron has announced a �10m international youth citizen service scheme.

The scheme, which will be means-tested, will focus mainly on 18 to 22-year-olds, who will work on projects aimed at improving the lives of some of the poorest people in the world.

In the pilot year (2011/12) places will be offered to 1,000 young people and to 250 more experienced older people. An evaluation will determine how best to scale up the scheme to offer places to many more applicants."
