The Youth Council is a great way for 14-18 year olds to get involved in volunteering. You meet regularly with other people from different schools. The aims of the youth council are to give young people a voice and influence in the local area. You also have a budget to plan projects that you’d be supported to start up yourself. Past projects have included talent shows, sexual health workshops and a sponsored cycle.
Other volunteering includes being a radio presenter or a performer at street dance.
