The Clore Leadership Programme is an initiative of the Clore Duffield Foundation; it develops outstanding potential leaders for the cultural sector in the UK, through individually tailored programmes of personal and professional development. Each year it assists a number of Clore Fellows to undertake an individual programme of learning, work, research, training, and secondment, designed to develop their leadership skills and experience.

Each year a number of Specialist Fellowships are offered and in 2006-7, there will be a Youth Music Fellowship for a candidate who aims to play a leadership role in the field of music, and who has a particular interest in encouraging access to high-quality music-making experience.

The Fellowship will include investigating an aspect of music concerned with workforce development or reaching those who are particularly disadvantaged (often categorised as "hard to reach") in their access to high-quality music-making opportunities. The Fellowship is funded by Youth Music.

Applications for the 2006-7 Fellowships are now open, the deadline for applications is February 21, 2006.
