Advisory Board

Young people under 30 make up almost 40% of our population, but, more often than not, they are less than 0.01% of members on decision-making boards across the country.

The Youth Advisory Board is Youth Leads UK’s dedicated group of young people who support us in guiding and delivering our strategic aims, ensuring we are youth-led and youth-informed at every level.

Members participate in discussion-based activities, designed with and supported by our Youth Engagement Team, to work together with the Trustees to move our charity forward.

WHAT WE DO

  • Sharing experiences and insight into issues faced by young people.
  • Providing constructive feedback to the Board of Trustees on their strategies.
  • Presenting ideas to the Youth Advisory Board and the Board of Trustees on what Youth Leads UK should be delivering.
  • Helping to keep our alumni and supporters connected to Youth Leads UK.
  • Promoting Youth Leads UK’s values.

Youth Advisory Board members are all aged between 14 & 22 and offer their own unique perspectives and experiences, with the aim to ensure our board can represent a wide range of Greater Manchester’s diverse young people.
