COYI Hack for Hackney 

The Circle of Young Intrapreneurs (@Circleofyi) is a movement designed to inspire, guide, develop and deliver purpose-driven business ideas from young social intrapreneurs in large corporate organisations globally.We aim to help drive positive social change through business, by creating a community of young change-makers, supporting them with mentoring and advice from leading intrapreneurs, encouraging pan-industry collaboration to solve shared societal challenges, and driving advocacy of the intrapreneurial agenda within corporates.Launched following the One Young World Summit in November 2015, the group has grown to over 5000 members from 40+ countries, representing some of the world's biggest companies, and is the largest network of intrapreneurs globally.Together we can make business a force for good.www.circleofyi.com

The Circle of Young Intrapreneurs

Local people solving local issues with the support of the Circle!
In partnership with a variety of local Hackney based charities, this event will connect young people aged 16 to 24 with local businesses to give them the opportunity to develop their networking skills and actively engage with their local area. The goal of this event is to initiate ideas which drive societal change for the local community, tackling conversation topics around the difficulties and challenges faced in youth employment within a respectful forum. 
The Hackathon will focus on engaging young people with local businesses to discuss how we can better connect local talent with local opportunities. The best ideas chosen to tackle this challenge will then be selected for further support. 
We need a group of enthusiastic Circle members to participate in the Hackathon process, helping young people achieve change and create ideas which will have a meaningful impact on their lives. Members will be fully briefed before the event - all we need you to bring is your skills and expertise!
