How can I get involved in Youth Voice?
At Youth Focus North East, we believe that Youth Voice is the opportunity to support young people to bring about change and provide them with the tools to tackle social justice and inequalities. With the aim of creating a better future for themselves and their communities.
Examples of youth voice:-
● Social Action
● Young Inspectors
● Youth Board
● Peer Research
● Intervention and planning of sessions
