Who are our Youth Advisory Board?

At VotesforSchools, we put Student Voice first. We're passionate about getting young people talking, discussing the big issues at play and leading the change that they want to see.

This year, our Youth Ambassadors will be planning and hosting sessions throughout the year on topical issues for students across the VotesforSchools community. These sessions will be run for students, by students and the outcome will be passed on to schools, parents and organisations and used to influence change.
