What’s in it for me?
- Influence London’s decision makers
- Boost personal development – there’s lot of training, skill development
- Ensuring young people’s voices are at the heart of London Youth’s work – by helping us ensure our programmes are high quality, feeding into funding bids, and helping with staff recruitment.
- Creating campaigns
- Ensuring youth voice is heard within the youth sector and beyond – by helping us to create communications content, attending events in person and online and speaking with the press and decision makers.
- Represent young Londoner’s voices
- Have a great time with great people across the capital – through regular meetings at last Wednesday of every month, socials, and a residential!
- Opportunities to become more involved in London Youth’s governance and decision making through discussing and meeting with our trustees and senior management team.
- And so much more…
