Youth reps needed
We are looking for Youth Representatives aged between 13 and 19
(up to 25 for young people with learning difficulties or
disabilities), who want to help make a difference for young people
in Kensington and Chelsea.
What is it all about?
As a Youth Rep, you will:
- encourage young people to speak up about youth issues
- help to consult young people about changes in the borough’s
services
- attend monthly youth forum meetings to represent your project,
club or school
- play a part in developing services in Kensington and Chelsea
for young people.
What skills will you need?
- An interest in speaking to other young people about youth
issues and the services that they receive, including the activities
that are available to them in their local area.
- A willingness to give up your time (minimum one meeting per
month).
- Confidence to speak in public (training will be given for
this).
- A willingness to take the initiative and network in the local
community.
What training and support will you get?
In exchange, you’ll have lots of fun and be part of a great
team. More importantly, you will inspire a new generation to make a
positive contribution to their local area and community.
- You will be part of a group of young people in Kensington and
Chelsea who will meet monthly to discuss youth issues and ensure
that young people’s voices are heard at a decision-making
level.
- You will receive training throughout the year and all your
travel expenses will be paid.
- You will take part in a youth leadership programme that will be
accredited.
- All Youth Reps will be invited to attend a weekend residential
in February or March as part of their induction.
