Youth Advisory Board - Youth Action Alliance

The YAA Youth Advisory Board (YAB) is made up of 15 young people aged 11-18 years old who live, study, or work in Kensington & Chelsea.

As ambassadors, they will work closely with the YAA leadership team and other staff across the organisation to ensure the voice and youth perspective of young people are at the heart of everything we do.

They will train as advisors, ambassadors and activists.

The Goal:

We aim to amplify young people’s voices and help YAA to hold children and young people’s voices at the heart of everything we do. The Youth Advisory Board will provide feedback on the quality and experiences of the services that we provides so that we can make the improvements and adjustments that young people would like to see across our work.

What will I get out of this?

As a Youth Advisory Board member you will have the opportunity to learn new skills such as team work, organisation, creativity and critical thinking. You will also get the opportunity to meet new people, shape and get stuck into projects across YAA’s services, including fundraising, campaigning and media and communications. Being on the YAB will also look fantastic on your CV’s.

The Youth Advisory Board is a FREE project running from January 2023 onwards. Young people are asked to commit to at least one academic year.
