The ZSL Youth Advisory Board

Working with young people to create change

We're working to bring youth voice to the heart of ZSL's work. 

The ZSL Youth Advisory Board was launched in summer 2023 to bring youth voices to the forefront of shaping our organisation's future. Comprising twelve members aged 16-25, the board advises ZSL on incorporating the needs and perspectives of young people into all their work. 

Who are we & what do we do? 

We are a voluntary group, committed to amplifying the voices of young people and ensuring thier needs and perspectives are included in ZSL’s work. 

Our mission is to unite and amplify diverse youth voices within ZSL and beyond, fostering an inclusive and equitable future for both people and wildlife.

Everything we do is governed by our core values: 

• Collaborative: Seeking ways to work together to achieve more.
• Sustainable: Future-focused, ensuring we’re building sustainably on what’s come before.
• Reflective: A mindset of continuous growth and reflection.
• Equitable and Inclusive: Working to remove barriers for all and embracing all perspectives.
• Respectful: Building trust through respect.
