Exciting opportunity for Youth People aged 14-25 to join the West Yorkshire Youth Commission
The Youth Commission will allow young people to support, challenge and inform the work of the West Yorkshire Violence Reduction Partnership. The Youth Commission will explore urgent violence and exploitation issues affecting young people in West Yorkshire, such as what type of support is needed.
They’re looking for a diverse group of young people from different backgrounds and life experiences to take part, including those who have direct experience of the issues or are part of traditionally underrepresented groups.
This is a brilliant opportunity for young people to gain new knowledge, skills and experiences that focuses on listening to the views of young people in West Yorkshire. Members of the Youth Commission will play an important role in helping to run consultation events and gather the opinions of other young people. They will work directly with the Deputy Mayor of West Yorkshire for Policing and Crime and the director of the Violence Reduction Partnership.
Please share the opportunity amongst your networks and encourage any young person who you feel would benefit from this experience to apply.
