Youth Participation |
Youth Connexions VoiceWhat do you do? Our group meets once a month to try to help the Young People and Childrens Services become more youth friendly. Services can ask the group for their opinions on what works and what doesn’t or they may ask the group for ideas on what they think would work better. All our meetings are young people led so we have a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Every meeting is different but what is most important is that these services want to hear what you have to say! Who can join? Anyone can join between the ages of 13-19 years old. The group encourages young people from all different backgrounds to get involved and make sure that everyone gets their voices heard. What do I get out of it? Learn how to talk confidently to adults, develop team skills, be part of a something important, improve decision making, gain new opportunities, have your voice heard and be part of a group that stands for equality, fairness, dignity and respect. We pay our members £5 for attending our meetings and your time will be accredited towards a V50 Award (Nationally recognised volunteering certificate). We get involved in fun community activities like Soap Box Derby and Big Day Out. We will provide you with travel warrants to and from each meeting and have plenty of food and drink to stop you wasting away!
