Could you be a part of Youth Voice?

Young people aged 15 – 21 years old who live in the borough are invited to apply to be part of the two-year programme, managed by Council in partnership with the Education Authority through its Youth Service.

Youth Voice will provide young people with the opportunity to:

Engage with key decision makers; Have their say on local issues; Meet new friends; Be a representative voice for young people in their area; Be involved and pro-actively engaged with local decision-making processes.

Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Alderman Mark Fielding, said: “Our young people are the decision makers of the future and it’s important that their contribution to society is utilised from an early stage.

“The Youth Voice forum will facilitate engagement and allow us to learn from each other. We always need new people and fresh ideas coming through to participate in the borough’s future democracy and young people are central to this.”

Causeway Coast and Glens Youth Voice will meet on a regular basis to identify and take forward common issues relating to young people in the area. It will also offer opportunities for residential stays and study visits.
