Then we want to hear from you!
The YAB is being formed so that young people can support, challenge and inform the work that we do in schools, clubs and community groups around the country. The YAB will explore urgent issues affecting young people and inform the ongoing development work of our charity. Essentially, you will be the voice of young people within our organisation.
The YAB is looking to recruit young people in years 7 – 11, and the post will usually be held for 3 years. This board is brand new; as a member of the very first youth board, you will have a direct say in its development and direction. You will sign off on the terms of reference for the group, giving you a say in the work that you will undertake.
This is an excellent opportunity for young people to gain knowledge, new skills and experiences that will be extremely valuable for future university applications and employers. Members of the YAB will play an important role in the implementation of our Impact Evaluation Strategy, gathering the views and opinions of other young people about the work that we do, as well as helping us focus on new and emerging threats as young people come to face them.
All successful candidates will recieve a £25 Amazon voucher, with all applicants being entered into a draw to win a further £100!
Applications can be submitted below. We’ve tried to make this process simple and accessible for everyone. We would very much appreciate it if teachers, parents/guardians of young people could encourage them to apply and support them in the application process.
Applications need to be submitted by the end of May 2024, with interviews being held in June. The inaugural YAB Meeting will take place in September 2024. Questions about the role can be emailed to: chloe@lifeskillseducation.co.uk.
